One of Alabama's favorite sons is spreading the love around his home state.
Charles Barkley pledged to give $1 million each to two colleges on "Giving Tuesday," including Alabama A&M University, he announced on the JOX Roundtable Radio Show. The Leeds, Ala., native and Auburn University graduate also donated $1 million to Clark Atlanta University. Both AAMU, located in Huntsville, and Clark Atlanta are historically black colleges and universities.
