Historically Black Colleges and Universities hold a special place in Atlanta, home of Morehouse and Spelman. But HBCUs and their role in producing black leaders may be in jeopardy, according to a guest column today.

And readers sound off about a viral video of two DeKalb County middle school girls brawling, and the expectation teachers should wade into such fights to break them up.
