snip-"Spelman College, a private womens college in Atlanta, will receive a $100 million gift, which the school says is the largest single donation to a historically Black college or university.
The donation comes from longtime Spelman trustee Ronda Stryker and her husband, William Johnston, the chairman of the wealth management fund Greenleaf Trust, the college announced in a release."
snip-"The historic $100 million gift comes as Spelman marks 100 years since its naming in 1924. The college is one of only two historically black womens colleges and is a part of the Atlanta University Center, a consortium of four HBCUs in the city."

Now what so you want to bet some asshole sues because it was discrimination to give the money to a HBCU? Hey! They are going after private money (Venture Capital) now too.
