    The late-80s hit sitcom A Different World was instrumental in shaping the narrative surrounding Black students and higher education.

    What We Know:

    • The cast of the show recently paid it forward by presenting a $100,000 check from Ford to an HBCU, Ebony reported.
    • The check, which was a part of Ford’s Ultimate Homecoming Takeover initiative, was given to Southwestern Christian College in Texas.
    • The initiative was launched as an avenue to empower Black students to further their education and strengthen programs at historically Black colleges and universities across the country.
    • The cast members who presented the check were Cree Summer, Jasmine Guy, Darryl Bell, and Kadeem Hardison.

    What a gift!
