The Georgia activist drew attention when he was introduced by former President Trump at a rally in Atlanta on Saturday.
At the end of his speech at the Georgia State University Conference Center, President Trump invited Michaela Montgomery onto the stage, where he explained that he met her at a restaurant earlier this year.
Trump said Montgomery, a Clark Atlanta University graduate, had publicly acknowledged Trump and praised his funding for historically black colleges and universities.
“She looked at me and said, ‘President Trump, you saved my college.’ And I said, ‘How do you know that?’ … This guy is very smart, very intelligent,” Trump recalled.

“I should have kept that quiet,” Montgomery laughed.
The former president praised Montgomery, calling her an “incredible” person with a “great future,” and telling her he would “do whatever I can to help you” before giving her the podium.

Montgomery added that he is the founder of a group called the Cultural Preservation Society, which “mobilizes HBCU students to help them understand this culture.” [conservative] message.”

The rally came days after President Trump was criticized by the White House for comments he made about Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity at the recent National Association of Black Journalists conference.
“She’s always just been Indian and promoted as being Indian,” Trump said. “I didn’t know she was black until a few years ago, when she became black. And now she wants to be known as black. So, I don’t know if she’s Indian or black.”
