...Entrepreneur Eugene Lang promised 61 Harlem sixth-graders he would pay their college costs if they stayed in school. As it turns out, he laid the seeds not only for their future education but also for a host of generous imitators around the country.

Last week Fogelman, 47, announced he would subsidize tuition perpetually for disadvantaged Memphis-area public school students who go to Memphis State University.

...hard to remember that until the 1960s ghettos from Harlem to the South Side of Chicago were beacons of hope for blacks fleeing from the rigid segregation of the Jim Crow South.
