*BLACK HISTORY FACT* The United Negro College Fund was incorporated with 27 member colleges on this date in 1944. UNCF is the nations oldest and most successful minority higher education assistance organization. The UNCF began when Dr. Frederick D. Patterson, president of Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University), wrote an open letter in The Pittsburgh Courier. In his writing he asked the presidents of other private black colleges to pool their small monies and make a united appeal to the national conscience. The UNCF’s mission is to enhance the quality of education by raising operating funds for their member colleges and universities, providing financial support to deserving students, and increasing access to technology for students and faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. #JoeMadison #SiriusXM #UrbanView #BlackHistory SiriusXM Urban View
