Education and specifically higher education (while not the only way) has a direct link to closing the wealth gap. This means the opportunity to advance our education at every level is critical and something the entirety of Black America should be focused on. Billionaire Robert Smith had the issue of access and funding for higher education squarely in his sights that day on Morehouse campus when he agreed to shoulder the student loan debt of 400+ graduates that day, but more importantly the idea for the Student Freedom Initiative was born.
What is the Student Freedom Initiative you may ask..... what I'll tell you is that it is an answer to the problem of how can I, he, she, and we afford college... it is a bridge over the troubled waters of financial inequity and it is the topic of todays episode. Mark Brown, executive director of The Student Freedom Initiative, joins us to talk the the need, the problem, and the solutions. His organization is equipped to support us while it teaches us how to pay forward the beautiful gift of a college education.
