Charles Barkley Pledges $1M to Tuskegee University

Money talks, and Sir Charles has spoken. NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley has pledged $1 million to Tuskegee University, marking his fifth major donation to a historically black college.

The NBA on TNT analyst pledged the same amount to Miles College earlier this year.

In 2016, Chuck pledged $1 million to both Alabama A&M in Huntsville and Clark Atlanta University and in 2017 he pledged $1 million to Morehouse College in Atlanta.

The gift is unrestricted but Barkley told al.com he hopes it goes to academic scholarships. Charles is a good dude.
