in the nation's capital urmagic johnson talked to the alumni chapter of south carolina state university the enthusiastic crowd enjoyed johnson's announcement that he was helping the historically black college raise $2.5 million for the magic johnson endowed scholarship fund. that day, johnson donated $500,000 to award the endowment. while his friend, michael triplett gave $250,000. the scholarships will help business students attending the school in orangeburg south carolina. >> the majority of african-americans are going to historically black colleges. so we got to help them get there. they have the grades to go a lot of times maybe they don't have the finances to go. so we got to help them with that. because if we don't, now our community have more people who are not going to college and then you think about if they don't have a college degree it's going to be hard for them to get a really good job out here in the marketplace. >> johnson's efforts to help the university are coming at a very critical time in the school's 120 year history. it is south carolina's only public black colleg

[laughter] i kid, of course. i love it. but it's true. i think as we learn from the key note last night, we live in the world that reconstruction made. and so the very important that we sort of grapple with and try to understand this period in our history. and we haven't really had that kind of reckoning yet. maybe this is our opportunity to do so. you can say what you want about the centennial of the civil war, but it happened. we didn't have a centennial of reconstruction. we weren't here in 1966 sort of talking about this. maybe it was too soon then. but hopefully not now. today i'm excited to introduce our panelists who are going to challenge us to think more broadly about the who, the where, the how of the processes that sort of constituted reconstruction. as a public historian or someone that sort of calls himself a publ
