Oprah Winfrey Is Not New To Giving Surprises
Last month, Morehouse president David A. Thomas announced measures to lessen the burden of its fiscal issues by halting matching retirement contributions for all employees.
On Monday, Oprah Winfrey blessed Morehouse College with a surprise $13 million donation. Winfrey’s donation along with the $12 million the media mogul gifted the school 30 years ago, totaling $25, has become the largest endowment in the history of the school.
The multimillion-dollar gift will benefit the program which was created in 1989 and has advanced at least 600 students through the program.
Spent a day marinating in black excellence with these gorgeous, promising, young men at @Morehouse. They honored me with roses, a song, and a portrait for a scholarship fund I set up 30 years ago. Can’t wait to see what they do with their future. pic.twitter.com/o28hWkdC7w
