Last week, April 20-24, Prairie View A&M University celebrated the 125th anniversary of the passage of the Morrill Act.  The act, passed in 1890, helped to create the historically black land grant universities in the former Confederate States.  Although Prairie View A&M University actually predates the Morrill Act by some 14 years, it is still an important milestone and the PVAMU Cooperative Extension Program celebrated it by holding  our spring conference on campus.  I was in attendance all last week, and I brought a camera along to help document the event.
