The Dong family is selling their Coronado home they once rented, then purchased from a former Black slave turned Coronado entrepreneurA Black family rented their Coronado home to a Chinese American family when no one else would. Now, the Chinese American family is donating $5 million to Black San Diego State University students using proceeds from the sale of the house.
Thompson, a former slave, turned Coronado entrepreneur, allowed the Chinese American family to rent and eventually buy their Coronado property-- helping them achieve the American Dream. Dr. Gamble says not only will the funding help provide scholarships, but it will also go towards supporting students, by making sure upper-class mentors are readily available for lower-classmen, as well as being able to bring in professional resources.
Forever grateful for the doors opened to his family nearly a century ago by Gus and Emma Thompson, Lloyd, his wife and family are now planning to leave a lasting legacy that'll help the Thompson name live on.
