We often hear about **Oprah Winfrey's** "daughters" who attend her Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa, but did you know she has "sons" too?

They are the men of Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia.

This week, **Oprah** paid them a visit to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Oprah Winfrey Scholars Program - a US $12 million fund the media mogul set up in 1989 to support the education of African American men.

During her visit, she surprised the faculty with an additional $13 million donation to support the future men of Morehouse too:

*"I understand that African American men are an endangered species. They are so misunderstood. They are so marginalized,"* **Oprah** said according to a [Morehouse press release.](https://www.morehouse.edu/newscenter/philanthropistoprahwinfreyannounces13milliongifttomorehousecollegeforscholarsfund.html?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io)

*"Where and when I can lend support to try to change that image, I do. That is what Morehouse is doing. It is saying 'This is who we really are.'"*

So far 600 young men have benefited from her scholars program.
