.Fisk University Gymnastics’ Morgan Price has made history as the first HBCU athlete to win a national collegiate championship.
She tells CBS Mornings why she chose the school’s first-of-its-kind program: “Might as well just make history.”
'O.J., to me, was always a hustler at a high level,” USC professor Notorious Ph.D. said. The Black community could “see right through him,” but White America “thought he was someone that ultimately he was not. For lack of a better phrase, they thought he was a good [n-word].”
Morgan Price of Fisk University Gymnastics is the 2024 USAG Women’s Collegiate All-Around National Champion!
With a score of 39.225, she becomes the first USAG Collegiate National Champion from an HBCU!
