Today’s guest is Dr. Harry L. Williams, President & CEO of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF), the nation’s largest organization exclusively representing the Black College Community. TMCF’s 47 member-schools make up the publicly-supported Historically Black Colleges (HBCUs) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs) which represent nearly 300,000 students. In this episode Harry, Margie and Rob discuss the journey of a first generation college graduate from the fields of NC to Washington, D.C.; the responsibility of bringing others along in your journey through success; the role of college faculty and administrators in supporting first-generation, low income students; the progress made for racial equity in government, education, and industry; and casting a vision that brings people together.
