 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 them, Ms. Brown, you can't do everything. I said, no, but 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.
