Black Consumer Report

Filmmaker "St. Clair Bourne" has passed

I was recently informed that St.Clair Bourne passed.  Details of his death are not made known to me at this time, but it is clear that we have lost one of the most important Black filmmakers’ of our time.  Committed to fairness and inclusion of Black people was clearly his mission in life.

He will be missed.

GO TO HARVARD FOR FREE - FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES

I received this and thought I'd pass it on.

Harvard University announced over the weekend that from now on

undergraduate students from low-income families will pay no tuition. In

making the announcement, Harvard's president Lawrence H. Summers said,

"When only 10 percent of the students in Elite higher education come

from families in lower half of the income distribution, we are not doing

enough. We are not doing enough in bringing elite higher education to

the lower half of the income distribution."

If you know of a family earning less than $60,000 a year with an honor

student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to

pay the tuition. The prestigious university recently announced that from

now on undergraduate students from low-income families can go to

Harvard for free...no tuition and no student loans!
