Fifty years ago, Barbadian Professor Emeritus Calvin Beresford Holder entered the hallowed halls of Harvard, the oldest (1636) university in the USA.
The university was then and is now reputed to be one of the leading schools of learning across the entire globe and is currently listed third in the world university rankings.
Harvard did not have a reputation for engaging Black students and at the time of the Professor’s entry there were perhaps 30 Black students among possibly 5,000 at the University’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
