Tue Nov 11, 7:56 AM ET (Taken from Yahoo Online) NEW ORLEANS - Ray Charles has donated $1 million to Dillard University for the creation of a program about black culture, the school announced Monday.  The donation will create an endowed faculty position and program devoted to the musical, culinary, artistic and linguistic contributions of black Americans, Dillard spokeswoman Maureen Larkins said. Charles received an honorary degree in May from Dillard, a private, predominantly black school associated with the United Methodist Church and the United Church of Christ. The 73-year-old singer donated the money in the name of the Robinson Foundation for Hearing Disorders, a laboratory he founded in 1987 for the treatment and research of hearing problems.
