Dr. David Wilson, president of Morgan State University, received a warm welcome yesterday, when he shared his journey of growing up as a sharecropper's son in rural Alabama to finding his calling as a career educator. Now holding degrees from #Tuskegee University and #Harvard University, he advised cadets to overcome obstacles (even debt) in their path through intense focus on their goals. The college scholarship fund he endowed at Morgan is a tribute to his father's $5 investment in his education (story in profile link). #alabamanative #perrycountyal #highered #findaway #neverlosefocus #distinguishedspeaker
