Oral Lee Brown Foundation
In 1987, Oral Lee Brown adopted a first grade class and promised them if they stayed in school and got admitted to college she would pay for their college education. Not only did she keep her promise to the first class of students, to date, 136 students from low income families have received mentoring, tutoring, and financial support from the Oral Lee Brown Foundation for college.

Mrs. Oral Lee Brown’s interview with Jai Stevenson.
Once again, I want to thank everyone who has had a hand in guiding me to and through college, especially the Oral Lee Brown Foundation and Mrs. Brown, who has allowed us to stand on her shoulders. However, some of us walked and ran on her shoulders. After finishing college at Alabama State University, I will be on my way to Law School in January 2022 and will have my Law degree within three {3} years. See you at the BENCH. Love, Jai
Mrs. Oral Lee Brown’s interview with Lauren Campbell.
Hi, this is just the beginning of my life. So, I ask you to pray for me as I journey to the end of schooling and begin my career.
I WILL SEE YOU IN THE HOSPITAL. ~Lauren Campbell
My elementary schooling in Oakland California has taken me to the New School College in New York, as I chase my dream of becoming a journalist or a fashion designer. This has not been easy, but it has been worth it.
YOU WILL SEE ME ON TELEVISION or ON THE RUNWAY. ~Andrea Williams
I am on my way to a career that will not only enhance my life but will bring justice to so many that have been denied the right to freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
I WILL SEE YOU IN COURT. ~Cherrish Cook
