From the LA Times -
These black colleges in Atlanta are some of Hollywood's best kept filming secrets
By Tre'vell Anderson
To the unfamiliar eye, Morehouse seems like many other colleges. But it’s not.
Most schools are not used as filming locations for big-budget Hollywood productions. Morehouse, however, has been the setting for two in just a single year, the Oscar-nominated “Hidden Figures” and BET’s “The Quad.”
In fact, the entire Atlanta University Center, or AUC, a consortium of historically black colleges and universities in the city, has ties with Hollywood that run deeper than the Chattahoochee River. In the last 30 years, Spelman College, Clark Atlanta University and Morehouse School of Medicine have all been used in countless films and television shows.
Together, they are one of the industry’s best kept secrets in the city known as the Hollywood of the South.
