Frederick Anderson is a graduate who enrolled in Morehouse to be close to his pregnant girlfriend, working night shifts and part time jobs to pay his tuition fees. However financial pressures forced him to drop out but eventually he managed to return and graduated in 2013. The main speaker at his ceremony was President Obama who singled him out as an inspiration. (Picture: Frederick Anderson. Credit: AP Photo/Atlanta Journal Constitution/Curtis Compton.)
