Rep. Gwen Moore (WI-4) Statement on CBC Funding Award WASHINGTON, DC – The CBC received the highest award given by The United Negro College Fund during a ceremony last night as part of the group’s 75th Anniversary celebration. The award will go toward supporting the students and programs the congressional group advocates for. UNCF, a philanthropic organization founded by Dr. Frederick Douglas Patterson, funds scholarships for black students for 37 private, historically black colleges and universities. The organization has raised nearly $5 billion for scholarships since its inception. Congresswoman Gwen Moore said, “We’re at the frontline when it comes to creating opportunities for disadvantaged minority students and programs and this generous funding allows our work to continue.” |
