In that period, each school must have graduated tens of thousands. Where are the contributions from the alumni? Why aren’t they stepping up to save their schools? I’m not a math wiz, but based on graduation rates and the number of years these schools have been around, none or very few of these schools should be struggling. Where’s the generational wealth going, or do we even have it to pass down?

The alumni aren’t even supporting the schools they graduated from, and that’s sad. I know times are hard, but if every alumnus would donate $20.00 a month or more, these colleges and universities wouldn’t be in this predicament. If we don’t support our institutions, who will? It doesn’t take a lot of money from the individual to solve our problems, but it does take a lot of unity.

Black Unity means financial independence and happiness
