Robert F. Smith was giving the commencement address to the graduating class of Morehouse College when he made a surprise announcement: He would be paying off the student loans of the roughly 400 graduates.
It was just the latest substantial gesture from Mr. Smith, the richest black man in America, who until just a few years ago was practically unknown.
Well, here is a man who is to be greatly admired and respected..... So how about all those other World's Richest Folks stand up to the plate and follow his lead.....
Probably ain't gonna happen, most of them are way to tight-fisted and greedy to part with their money to help fund the future of our country's upcoming leaders, educators, doctors and lawyers, to name just a few professions.......
Of course, folks like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet do fund wonderful charitable organizations to help build a better world.....
Thank you very much Mr. Smith for this wonderful gesture of kindness....
