Chick-fil-A is set to gift $500,000 to a leadership development program at a historically Black college in Atlanta, the school announced Monday. 

The program at Morris Brown College will be aimed at preparing students for careers in hospitality and organizational leadership, the college said in a statement announcing the pledge from the restaurant chain.

The contribution marks one of the largest received by the college since beginning its reaccreditation process two years ago, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
