Stay tuned for this story whether or not you are watching The Gilded Age. If you’re watching, you’ve seen the show take the fictional Peggy Scott and the very real T Thomas Fortune down south from New York City to Alabama. They went to visit The Tuskegee Institute - a historically black college.

Scott & Fortune were there to cover the opening of Porter Hall, the school’s first dormitory for their newspaper. The angle of their story was about how white New York money was being used to build a black school.

And that was true. The building was Porter Hall, named after the wealthy Brooklynite, Alfred P. Porter.

While he is not a character on The Gilded Age, the second person to donate money for a building on the Tuskegee campus WAS a character on our show…kind of. She was Arabella Huntington - the real life inspiration for the Sylvia Chamberlain character.

It's another true story from Ti's Hot Mess History. Enjoy!
