Darren Walker of the Ford Foundation told me today that he was in Madrid last Tuesday when he read about the impending auction on his phone; he and Elizabeth Alexander of Mellon, emailing furiously, decided they had to do something. — PolitiTweet.org

A group of four major foundations got together, pooled $30 million, and won an auction for the Ebony and Jet archive. They only got the idea to form the group last week. https://t.co/ATlULwpNrl — PolitiTweet.org
