Description

The UNCF received a landmark $70 million donation from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. The money will be used to bolster the endowments of historically Black colleges and universities, helping to close long-standing gaps in resources. It’s part of a billion-dollar capital campaign to ensure HBCUs can thrive well into the future. Geoff Bennett discussed the outlook with Dr. Michael Lomax.
