81 Years Old and Still Winning Lawsuits for HBCUs
Richardson, the former president of Baltimore's Morgan State University, didn't just retire quietly at 81—no, he led a lawsuit that ended in a historic settlement benefiting four historically Black colleges and universities in Maryland. At an age when many of us are just figuring out the remote control, he's busy making legal history for Morgan State and its fellow institutions. Sadly, Richardson passed away, but his legacy is as robust as a syllabus packed with late-night study sessions. Who knew that a battle for educational justice could culminate so positively, proving age is just a number when you’re championing academia's underdogs?
