He often talked about leaving money to Prairie View, a historically black university. Green graduated in 1936.

"He sacrificed for this. He would always tell us to make your money work for you, and he did," Mitchell said. "I remember him saying, 'I'm going to help black children get an education.' He did it."

Nice when people do what they say and have conviction. Good for him. Glad his family is only surprised and not bitter or upset.
