Coulter and Rev. Edmund Turney, to educate African American men in theology and education, being originally located in Springfield Baptist Church, the oldest independent black church in USA. The institution moved in 1879 to its own location and changed its name to Atlanta Baptist Seminary, later acquiering a 4-acre campus in downtown Atlanta. In 1906, Dr. John Hope led the institution's growth in enrollment and academic stature, the institution being then renamed Morehouse College, in honor of Henry L. Morehouse, corresponding secretary of the Northern Baptist Home Missions Society.
