Publishing Firm Pledges 50 Percent of Profits for Scholarships at HBCUs

The company ATuskegeeAudio.com has produced 18 audio books. The first release is The Mushroom People by Charles R. Gray, who is CEO of the new publishing operation. He started the company due to a lack of diversity in stories and fairytales for African-American children.
