“For most private, historically black colleges and universities, there are chronic financial problems. My father made the case on the continuing importance of these institutions to the structure of opportunity in America, and he then delivered the ‘ask,'” says Edley…. Annenberg made a counterproposal, pledging $50 million if the UNCF could raise $200 million on its own, which it did in seven years. “He wanted to make history. Dad always considered him among the most visionary people with whom he ever worked.”
