A fire broke out Thursday evening on the campus of Atlanta’s historically Black Morris Brown College, the thick smoke could be seen for miles, reports say. At this time, no injuries were immediately reported. Gaines Hall, a building on the historic campus that once served as both a residence hall and an administration building before the university sold it during a bankruptcy case, caught fire on the third floor that led to at least one other floor catching fire.
Oh, my Lord. Morris Brown College is on fire right now. pic.twitter.com/AblRK2eRDm

Morris Brown has struggled, at one point down to 50 students. AME Church rescued it from bankruptcy. Now, a fire. 😢
