Dr. Earl S. Richardson's rise from field worker to university president offers an inspiring lesson for anyone determined to obtain an education.
Higher education is the most certain path from poverty to success.
From personal experience, however, both Dr. Richardson and I know how difficult that road can be. Clearly, this country has not yet achieved equal educational opportunity. This is a fact of life that Earl Richardson has devoted his professional career to changing. Day after day, he works with Morgan State's Financial Aid Director, Reginald Cureton, to overcome the daunting challenge of helping 6300 Morgan students finish college. In the process, they have become tireless advocates for increased federal aid to our colleges and universities.
