UNC-Chapel Hill isn’t the only one advocating for diversity. As AfroTech previously told you, Charles Barkley said he will donate millions to Auburn University.
“In my will, I am leaving Auburn $5 million,” Barkley said, according to AL.com. “I’m going to change it to be just for scholarships for Black students. That’s just my way of trying to make sure Auburn stays diverse. I love Auburn. I’ve actually changed it to be used for kids from poor homes.”
He continued, “But after that ruling yesterday, my phone was blowing up. I was talking to my friends and said, ‘I need to make sure Black folks always have a place at Auburn. So I’m gonna change my will and make it exclusively for Black students – all $5 million. It’s just for me the right thing to do. I always want to make sure that Auburn’s diverse.”
