Nate Parker Honored With Drama School in His Name

Wiley College is a historically black college that will be opening up a drama school dedicated to Nate Parker.

Though The Birth of a Nation actor graduated from the University of Oklahoma, Wiley decided to honor him by announcing the Nate Parker School of Film and Drama. After the school thanked Nate for his services, they were also happy to say he that he will be part of the Board of Trustees.
