Here We Are: A Morehouse College CTEMS Production

In celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, MTV Entertainment Group is handing over its massive platform to the Morehouse College Cinema, Television, & Emerging Media Studies (CTEMS) program to showcase the short film “Here We Are.” Based on one of Morehouse’s beloved expressions “a candle in the dark,” the film focuses on the legacy of King ‘48, its link to the present-day civil rights movement, and how his teachings have helped guide progress for the continued movement for Black liberation. Beginning today, the film will air through February on all nine MTV Entertainment Group channels: MTV, VH1, Country Music Television (CMT), Comedy Central, Paramount Network, Logo, TV Land, Pop TV, and Smithsonian Channel.

Morehouse College; producing freedom fighters since 1867!

Yup. Here we are 2022 and still just as racially segregated as ever. He had a dream and this isn't it.

[@rodneystrong2652]

We must be doing something right at Morehouse to continue to attract ignorant comments from
inconsequential haters.🙄

[@phillipcamp853]

@@rodneystrong2652 no hate here. Just a challenge. Just pointing out a simple matter of fact. Is morehouse not still just as racially segregated as ever?? Was that Dr Kings dream??

[@rodneystrong2652]

@@phillipcamp853 Morehouse is not a racially segregated institution. Students of various racial and ethnic groups attend Morehouse. Dr. King opposed racial segregation laws which by public policy restrict admission and attendance by race, color, creed, ethnicity, or national origin. Morehouse does not restrict admission or attendance on the basis of race, color, creed, ethnicity, or national origin.

MLK would never support “blm” or Kapernick. Y’all praise a man who fought against this kind of separation and hatred.

[@rodneystrong2652]

You are misrepresenting the political posture of Dr. King. He certainly would have embraced the Black Lives Matter movement and Mr. Kaepernick.

[@ladyv9983]

That's just your opinion Mr Wirth.

You must be a RepukeliKKKan, go watch cars drive around in a circle and call it a sport.

Mlk was in a black fraternity. Stop talking about stuff you know nothing about. Doctor king marched so that blacks could have equal rights. It wasn't for others. It was for his people. He was smart enough to go to a traditional college, and yet he chose an all black college . So stop trying to using MLK for your agenda. It is no separation to wanted better for your own people. All races pretend that wanting to be onclude somehow is separation when we as Americans never were together. Stop the bs !
