Now gone, Sen. Claiborne Pell



There is an excellent piece written on former US Senator Claiborne Pell over at Huffington Post, but I wanted to personally thank this wonderful individual for introducing the grant program, of which his name bears, Pell Grant, that helped millions upon millions of students attend college and afford them the opportunity that everyone should be entitled to - getting an education, if you so choose. From reading the article, I found out some interesting information about his upbringings and his background. He was truly an exemplary figure.
