Clark Atlanta University celebrated its 25th anniversary with a rally on the Henderson Promenade, one of several Founders Week events, which will conclude with a songfest and gala this weekend. The rally included a performance by the Mighty Marching Panthers Drum line, the CAU cheerleaders, speakers, and a 25th anniversary cake. The event celebrates the 25th anniversary of the consolidation of its parent institutions, Atlanta University (founded in 1865) and Clark College (founded in 1869).
