Netflix CEO to Donate $120M to Historically Black Colleges

Associated Press

   WASHINGTON - Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and his wife, Patty Quillin, are
   donating $120 million toward student scholarships at historically black
   colleges and universities.
   The couple is giving $40 million to each of three institutions: the
   United Negro College Fund, Spelman College and Morehouse College. The
   organizations said it is the largest individual gift in support of
   student scholarships at HBCUs.
   Hastings has a history of supporting educational causes, including
   charter schools. He launched a $100 million education fund in 2016,
   beginning with money toward college scholarships for black and Latino
   students.
   Hastings said now is the time when "everyone needs to figure out" how
   to contribute to solving racism. He said HBCUs have been resilient
   "little-known gems" for black education.
