Spelman Alumni LaTonya Richardson and her husband Samuel L. Jackson made the largest donation in alumni history totaling $5 million. The beautiful couple first performed together in the John D. Rockefeller Fine Arts building, a 57-year-old building “in desperate need of renovation,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The two met while LaTanya was a Spelman student and Samuel attended Morehouse. They performed together in a theater now named after them, located in the John D. Rockefeller Fine Arts building. “The love that both LaTanya and Sam continue to exhibit for Spelman since their time on stage decades ago is heartwarming,” said Mary Schmidt Campbell, Ph.D., president of Spelman. “Their dedication to their artistry will leave a legacy that will inspire students in the Atlanta University Center for years to come.”
