 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 us, Brown, you can't do everything else, 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.
