College commencement season is in full swing and so NBC chose Morehouse College in Atlanta for its closing feature. The college is the alma mater of Samuel L Jackson and Spike Lee and Edwin Moses and Martin Luther King Jr, Martin Savidge reminded us, and now its valedictorian is Joshua Packwood: "He does not want to be remembered as just the first white valedictorian" in the 96% African-American school. "He would rather be known as something far more important--a Morehouse Man."
