It's safe to say, I would pass on a Trump account. Trump University already taught us what happens when his name is on the brochure. Does a $25 million settlement ring a bell?

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Rev. Ed King. He taught me at Tougaloo College, but he was more than a professor at the time. He was my spiritual and political guide. A lot of lives change...
