November in African American History


November 4 ~ On this day in 1988, Bill Cosby and his wife Camille presented a gift of 20 million dollars to Spelman College. One of Cosby's daughters had attended this prestigious women's college in Atlanta, Georgia. At the time this was the largest single donation made to an African-American college, as well as the largest single charitable, donation ever made by an African American.
