United Negro College Fund

I'm going to start giving money to the United ***** College Fund.
It will be one of the greatest things that I've ever done.
I want black people to expand their minds and to be all they can be.
I want them to be bursting with knowledge as they accept their degrees.
They'll need a good education in this world they must face.
It's true that a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

This is a great write about a very good organization. The poem flows well and the rhyming is great. The united fund gives opportunity to so many who otherwise wouldn't be able to go to college. This is great.
