Episode 15 - 5 Requirements Robert F. Smith Should Have Made Before Paying Off Morehouse Student Debt

Published: Oct. 6, 2019, 4:03 p.m.

b'In this episode, I discuss the Five (5) requirements I think Robert F. Smith should have made of #MorehouseStudents BEFORE paying off their student debt. Don\'t get me wrong, I truly admire what Dr. Robert Smith did for the #Morehouse students; however, I believe he could have created a legacy that could have span generations.

In 1995, Minister Louis Farrakhan organized the Million Man March in Washington, DC. According to news reports, approximately 850 thousand men showed up for the March. Despite this monumental event, I bet dollars-to-donuts, that a majority of people under the age of 20 don\'t remember the #MillionManMarch or what it stood for. I don\'t want Robert F. Smith\'s legacy to be like the Million Man March -- Which is why I think he should have made these Five Requirements:

He could forgive student debt for students who:
1. buy homes in the community adjacent to Morehouse.

2. work for or start a business in the community adjacent to Morehouse.

3. teach for Atlanta Public Schools or Dekalb Public Schools.

4. are accepted to an Accelerator like Atlanta\'s #theFARM/ #Boomtown (which is hosted by Comcast Universal)

5. are accepted to a graduate Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning/Predictive Analytics program.

To learn why I believe Robert F. Smith should have made these requirements, please listen to Episode 15 - 5 Requirements Robert F. Smith Should Made Before Paying Off Morehouse Student Debt
