In case you have yet to hear, the Debt Collective canceled Morehouse College students' debts. These were balances due directly to the school. New from me: "Morehouse Men Get $10 Million in Student Debt Forgiven by Activist Group" wordinblack.com/2023/10/more…
Morehouse Men Get $10 Million in Student Debt Forgiven by Activist Group

Morehouse Men Get $10 Million in Student Debt Forgiven by Activist Group

The Debt Collective canceled debts for the historically Black men’s college to “do their part” in upholding President Biden’s campaign promise.
