A Morehouse College freshman scurries to "close the gap" while forming a line across the street from the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel during the Parents' Parting Ceremony at Morehouse College on Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2015 in Atlanta, Ga. The freshman line up before ceremoniously entering Morehouse's gates to "become Morehouse men," seeing their parents once more before they depart. While walking to form the line, alumni and upper classmen yell at the students to the "close the gap," meaning that they need to be in a single file line with no gaps. Photo by Kevin D.
