Thirty-three years ago, in 1991, Demetrius Banks began his journey at Morehouse College. He has now fulfilled his lifelong dream, graduating from the prestigious college with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration with a specialization in management.
He started Morehouse in the fall of 1991 as a traditional student and was there for two years and a semester before he transferred out, he said.
