This past weekend, Pharrell Williams surprised five NAACP youth leaders by announcing he was paying off their student debt.
He announced the gift during a panel event addressing the Black student debt crisis, organized by the NAACP in Washington, D.C.
The musician and producer was in D.C. hosting the Something in the Water music festival over the Juneteenth holiday weekend.
Wisdom Cole, the NAACP’s national director of youth and college, called the gift a “powerful” gesture.
The news quickly spread across the internet with users congratulating the students.
