 In 1987, some inner-city first-graders were promised a college education. Now, this promise didn't come from a wealthy corporation. It came from Oral Lee Brown, who saved a large portion of her modest income every year for these children. She told Ms. Brown, you can't do everything I send over. We need to do more. And she did more by sending 19 kids to college, helping others pass it on. From the Foundation for a Better Life at values.com.
