‘He’s got a really interesting story to tell,’ said one professor
Pitzer College granted a degree to a currently incarcerated felon and had him speak at the commencement ceremony from prison.
Yusuf Pierce was sentenced to 19 years and four months for robbing a Baskin-Robbins and leading police on a high speed chase while already on probation in 2010.
In May, Pierce remotely addressed the graduating class of Pitzer, an elite liberal arts college in Claremont, California, with tuition of about $70,000-a year.
“We don’t label the student speaker as a valedictorian. But it happens that Yusef has a 4.0, and he’s got a really interesting story to tell,” Pitzer Professor of Politics Nigel Boyle said to NPR.

The letter gave life and diet advice, quoted Bible verses, and apparently reproduced the entirety of the William Ernest Henley’s poem “Invictus,” which Pierce said “is Latin for undefeated.”

The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
