Alpha Kappa Alpha senior Daryl Morgan, from Detroit is a Radio-TV journalism major.
Her mother and grandmother were members of Alpha Kappa Alpha and she grew up knowing and wanting to be part of the organization.
The spirit is Morgan’s favorite aspect of Homecoming.
“Seeing everyone really proud to be an MU tiger is definitely my favorite part of the week,” Morgan said. “MU is already such a spirited school, and it’s good to see people put aside their differences and unite in spirit. Just seeing the black and gold up and down Ninth Street is just one way that MU stands behind a common cause.”
Howard also has hopes for her black community.
“I hope it brings black students who wouldn’t normally get involved with Homecoming into the spirit,” Morgan said. “Sometimes blacks look at Homecoming and say ‘Homecoming’s not for me’ because they don’t see their faces in the crowd because we aren’t a part of pomping or Greektown, but hopefully our Homecoming helps black students to see other people like them getting involved.”
Morgan is also part of the National Association of Black Journalists and Target Hope.
She hopes to continue pursuing broadcast journalism after graduating.
“I hope to find a job and keep doing well and see what happens,” Howard said.
