In a momentous display of leadership, advocacy, and purpose, ten outstanding student leaders from Morehouse College are in the nation's capital this week as the inaugural cohort of the MARCH (Morehouse Advocacy Reaching Capitol Hill) Ambassadors Program. This groundbreaking initiative, co-created by Dr. Hideko Sera, Executive Director of Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, and Dr. Kendrick Brown, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, is designed to prepare Morehouse Men to influence public policy and drive societal change at the highest levels.
From March 31 to April 3, 2025, these MARCH Ambassadors engaged in a powerful, weeklong immersion across Washington, D.C., championing student-led policy solutions rooted in equity and justice. Their advocacy centered on advancing economic development through workforce training, combating food insecurity in America’s food deserts, and increasing transparency and accessibility in college affordability.
The cohort’s itinerary included high-impact meetings with members of Congress and legislative staff at the U.S. Capitol including U.S senator Raphael Warnock '91, a visit to PBS News Hour with veteran journalist Geoff Bennett '02, and strategic dialogues at institutions such as the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the Alliance to End Hunger.
True to the legacy of Morehouse, these students are not only learning—they are leading. Their voices reflect a deep commitment to communities too often left unheard. Their presence on Capitol Hill is a powerful reminder that the next generation of changemakers is already here, informed, and unapologetically bold.
As Morehouse continues to shape men of distinction who live with disciplined minds and purposeful hearts, the MARCH Ambassadors are a shining example of what it means to turn education into action.
