Quincy Jones was more than a legendary musician and producer; he was a fierce advocate for education and social justice. His dedication to uplifting young talent and fighting for equitable access to education has shaped generations. As we mourn his loss, we celebrate his legacy,

🗳️ A vote is a terrible thing to waste! This Tuesday’s election is one of the most critical in our lifetime—don’t just witness history; shape it. Join @UNCF’s Day of Action tomorrow and let’s make our voices heard! 📢 #UNCFDayOfAction https://t.co/DrRAecMEVp

When elected leaders talk the talk and walk the walk, progress follows. Maryland Governor Wes Moore is doing just that. I was honored to recognize his commitment to #HBCUs and students at @UNCF's inaugural Maryland luncheon. #UNCF80 @GovWesMoore

🗳️ Your vote matters for HBCUs! Despite record enrollment and economic impact, they still lack the resources they need. Our elected leaders decide their future. Make a plan to vote on Nov. 5:  https://t.co/JuMbfX2ioK

Grateful to friend, philanthropist, and long-time UNCF and HBCU supporter @RFS_Vista for joining our Fireside Chat with Board Chair Milton Jones, Jr. at the UNCF Board Meeting. His generous contributions continue to transform lives and inspire the next generation of leaders!

Honored to receive the Andrew Jackson Young Lifetime Achievement Award from @100BMofATL presented by @UNCF Chair Milton Jones. Ambassador Young’s legacy of advocating for the rights of all oppressed people and his support for @UNCF makes this recognition extremely special.

A heartfelt thanks to Florida Memorial University’s interim president, Mr. William McCormick, & the entire school for the incredible red carpet treatment extended to the UNCF board, staff, & member presidents. The energy & talent of the students & administration were inspiring!

HBCUs continue to do more with less! Today @UNCF released a new report, Transforming Futures: The Economic Engines of HBCUs, that reaffirms what we have always known about the resilience of #HBCUs. https://t.co/HaW25vegdS

The question, 'Do we still need HBCUs?' is one that @UNCF’s new report puts eternally to rest. HBCUs are still needed, & they must be supported. It's up to all of us to raise our voices. Get the facts & be a voice for HBCUs: https://t.co/Jm1AGeuOZm #UNCF4HBCUs

The recent news of James Earl Jones’s passing is heartbreaking for all of us. He used his gifted voice to help us launch the @UNCF PSA campaign that made ‘A mind is a terrible thing to waste’® a global slogan and raised billions of dollars to support HBCU students.

Excited about the launch of Project ACCLAIM, a $10M partnership w/ Adage Capital Management & Elizabeth & Phill Gross. This initiative will cultivate a robust pipeline of Black talent in finance, closing the wealth gap & empowering HBCU students. The future is bright!

Presenting this award to our esteemed @UNCF Board Chair, Milton Jones, during UNCFUnite24 is a true honor. Milton's unwavering leadership, dedication, and tireless advocacy have profoundly shaped our mission and inspired us all. Congratulations and thank you for your commitment!

Having my grandchildren at #UNITE2024 is special, especially this morning as @UNCFICB and Ed Smith-Lewis presented me with a painting from @CAU1988’s Sam D. Burston to mark my 20-year anniversary as President and CEO of @UNCF.

Oh What a Night! Kicking of #UNCFUnite24 with a concert featuring the Yolanda Adams, special guest Ledisi and our amazing #HBCU student performers!! Continuing to celebrate 80 years of @UNCF!

Happy Birthday, Milton! As the board chair of UNCF, your vision and leadership are deeply inspiring. It's an honor to stand alongside you in support of HBCUs. Here’s to many more fantastic years of making a difference! 🥳🎉 #HappyBirthday #Leadership #Education
