The Greater Boston Morehouse College Alumni Association ‘The House on the Vineyard’ weekend The Greater Boston Morehouse College Alumni Association (GBMCAA) hosted its first “The House on the Vineyard” weekend of fun and fundraising from Aug 10 – 12 in Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard. GBMCAA President Wilton DeVonn Baker conceived of the weekend to raise money for scholarships during the College’s 150th anniversary year, which included a golf tournament, a beach party, and the Legacy of Light fundraiser. The fundraiser was held at the home of Secretary Louis Sullivan, Morehouse class of 1954 and secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under President George H.W. Bush. The event paid tribute to internationally-renowned legal theorist, Professor Charles J. Ogletree. Morehouse College luminaries such as Otis Moss, Jr., Otis Moss, III and Spike Lee joined in the celebration. The GBMCAA worked with 2 Boston-based businesswomen – Sheena Collier of The Collier Connection and Shana Bryant of Shana Bryant Consulting – to execute their vision.
