When a college student had to bring his baby to class, this professor helped out so he could take notes.
Professor Nathan Alexander holds Wayne Hayer's 5-month-old daughter, Asada, at Morehouse College on Mar. 1. By Deanna Paul Deanna Paul Reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow March 4 at 6:30 AM Mathematics professor Nathan Alexander was always on his students, including Morehouse College senior Wayne Hayer.
He had never seen another Morehouse student bring a baby to class, although he had heard about young women — wives and single mothers — doing so. "There’s a negative stereotype about African American men not being fathers to their children and a myth that most black people come from single-parent households,” Hayer said.
— TheOriginal™ March 1, 2019 Classmate Nick Vaughn posted a photo of the scene on Facebook and Twitter that soon spread to Reddit. At the time of publication, the tweet was liked 296,000 times, and had been retweeted more than 72,000 times. One user, who does not know Alexander, recounted in the comment section on Twitter how supported she felt when her professor encouraged her to bring her baby to class, too.
