Gates Millennium Scholarships: Helping Students Make a Difference

Gates Millennium Scholarships help underwrite the education of promising minority students, who in many cases have overcome significant obstacles. This video tells the story of Dr. Walt Besio, a professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Rhode Island. Dr. Besio was awarded a scholarship for his research on an electrode that translates thoughts into electrical impulses and helps people who are paralyzed control things in their environments.

Whites have more opportunity than those of color. Those of color are in a cycle of poverty that they need to break out of. White people, if you are poor than it's because your just making bad choices. You had opportunity from the start. You lived in America from the start.
