One couple has donated more than $1 million to Spelman College, a historically black institution for women in Atlanta, in order to pay the remaining tuition of nearly 50 graduates.

Frank Baker and his wife, Laura, have committed to giving Spelman College more than $1 million over the next three years.

Frank Baker spoke to "GMA" this morning about his commitment to donate over a million dollars to Spelman College over the next three years.“We took the [decision] back to [Baker] and said, ‘Look, here are the students that would graduate were it not for the fact that their balances were cleared.’ And he said, ‘Let’s do it,’'' according to Campbell.

That’s nice. Who’s going to donate the millions to create free after school programs to give black youth some place to be when school lets out other than in trouble. All youth need it.

Great news!

WILL SMITH FOR PRESIDENT!!

Thanks
