Radio One Donates To HBCU Howard University in Washington DC

Story by DCRTV

Radio One's Cathy Hughes and Alfred Liggins donate $4 million to Howard University's School Of Communications.

Howard interim president Wayne A.I. Fredrick says: "Howard University is a business" and needs to remain financially viable - and that it can't keep hiking tuition and other fees.

Howard has embarked on a program of asking large companies to partner with the historically black educational institution located in the District Of Columbia - near where Silver Spring-based Radio One once contemplated putting its corporate headquarters.
