Founded in 1891, Elizabeth City State University celebrated its 135th anniversary. As the community gathered to celebrate a convocation, Chancellor Hargrove announced MacKenzie Scott's generous $42 million contribution to the university, the largest dollar per student enrolled gift of any HBCU of her recent gifts. Our HBCUs are game changers. They are transforming regions and lives in northeastern North Carolina. We are reclaiming our future and keeping the American Dream within reach. Mr. Speaker, I am so grateful that MacKenzie Scott sees the value of educational institutions like Elizabeth City State University. Viking pride, Viking pride, Viking pride.
