Filmmaker Spike Lee has partnered with The Gersh Agency to create the Spike Fellows Program, a fellowship to support students at the Atlanta University Center Consortium which consists of three Historically Black Colleges and Universities
, a fellowship to support students at the Atlanta University Center Consortium which consists of three Historically Black Colleges and Universities: Morehouse College, Spelman College, and Clark Atlanta University.
Gersh’s Head of Culture Jayson Council will lead the program, to which Lee and the agency have made a multi-year commitment. Its first cycle kicks off this month. Lee is an alum of the AUCC who graduated from Morehouse and took classes at Spelman. He says he therefore knows “firsthand” the quality of the education to be received at HBCU’s. “I am who I am because of my grandmother and my mother who both graduated from Spelman College. I am who I am because of my grandfather and my father who both graduated from Morehouse,” Lee reflected. “It’s on the campuses of Spelman and Morehouse where they met, fell in love, and got married.
