Former NBA player J.R. Smith is on a mission to not only better himself, but those around him. In this episode of HBCU Rising, Smith sits with North Carolina A&T Dean and Professor of the College of Education Dr. Paula Groves Price, to discuss the importance of pouring into the next generation of students.
