Diagnosed with autism and global development delay in his early years, Jason Arday was unable to speak until he was 11 years old and could not read or write until he was 18. Now aged 37, he is about to become the youngest black person ever appointed to a professorship at the University of Cambridge.

Very inspirational. Man had to overcome the damn world of problems. I read a piece of his work on HE but hadn't a clue about his challenges.

...that department...they've been bringing in younger people of color.

Destiny cannot be denied. You are born with a mission. Not to say Harvard is the destiny, but I bet, more to come from this young man.
