let's talk about ccny and what you've created in new york at ccny, a school my dad went to, it was a was the place of choice for young men and women in that day who didn't have a lot of other options as a public university. >> a public university formed in 1847 as the free academy of new york. first one like it in the country where we are going to take all of the kids of the people of all of the people and give them a chance to get an education. and it's been doing that for all of these years. it took me in in 1954 as just a kid born in harlem and raised in the south bronx and allowed me to go into the army and compete with guys from west point and harvard and princeton and otherwise. the reason i got the education because the citizens of new york said, what do we have that is more important to do than to educate the next generation? and now in this phase of my life, i'm back at ccny with the powell school for civic and global leadership and proud of it. i'm doing the same thing with the people up there for a new generation of minority kids and immigrant kids that was done for me so
