Thats a ton of money, good on him. Personally I would have liked to see it split between more HBCUs since the main ones already get a ton of money in endowments and whatnot and don't need the money per say compared to the smaller universities.

This is good. A lot of HBCUs remain underfunded

They're only donating to Howard, Morehouse, and Spelman so... those will remain underfunded.

1/3 of the donation goes to a fund that supports 36 universities.

In an alternate universe, that money would have gone to historically black college through appropriate taxes instead of needing a billionaire to randomly decide to be generous.

The gesture is cool but Morehouse and Spelman are not the only HBCU's in my state yet they always get the money. There are so many school that need it all over Ga.
