During Kanye West‘s visit to New Birth Church in Atlanta, GA, he donated a sizable donation to the church that was not released to the public — but after Kanye’s rant about slavery and his continued support of President Donald Trump, Pastor Jamal Bryant (and his church administration) has decided to redirect the donation from the church to Morris Brown College, within the Atlanta University Center.
Check out this clip of Kanye’s Sunday Service in Salt Lake City, UT.
Pastor Bryant made the announcement on Sunday during service and the further expounded on it on his social media. Roland Martin captured his remarks and posted on his Unfiltered Daily Show.
The financial contribution will go to the Morris Brown’s scholarship fund, allocated for the English department, in honor of the Grammy Award-winning artist’s late mother Dr. Donda West. Mother West taught English at the institution.
According to AJC.com, the college’s interim president, Dr. Kevin James shared with the fellowship on Sunday that on Friday, Oct. 10th, Morris Brown was approved as a “higher learning institution by the Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission” and will be moving swiftly towards accreditation.
James stated, “When you lose your accreditation, you close. But for some reason, for the past 17 years, Morris Brown College has been able to survive. We will be the first historically black college in history … since 1837 to actually come back and be fully accredited under these circumstances.”
We’re so happy this all worked out for Morris Brown College and commend Pastor Jamal Bryant and New Birth Church on this contribution via Kanye.
