Morehouse College Grad Named New Interim President

Harold Martin Jr., a 2002 Morehouse College graduate and secretary of its Board of Trustees, has been named interim president of the all-male institution that is celebrating its 150th anniversary.  The board announced the selection of Mr. Martin on June 26. He replaces William J. “Bill” Taggart, who died in June from an aneurysm.  
Mr. Taggart, 55, had only been serving since April, when the board voted to end President John S. Wilson’s contract two months before it expired.
