Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott gave $20 million to the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science in South Los Angeles, the largest private donation in the university’s history.

The university, known as CDU, is one of the nation’s four historically Black medical schools and a member of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities. It’s now one of the latest of the many public and private historically Black colleges and university to receive more than half a billion dollars from Scott.“CDU has been on a tireless pursuit to cultivate diverse health professional leaders dedicated to social justice and health equity for underserved populations,” Dr. David M.

“This investment will advance that goal by providing resources to support and enhance our outstanding education, research, clinical service, and community engagement.”CDU was founded in 1966 in the wake of civil unrest in Watts to address inequities in healthcare. It is ranked as the No. 2 school in the nation for student and faculty diversity, and is the only historically Black university west of Texas.

I hope they put it in a good use.
