Dr. Nathan Alexander said baby Assata was 'extremely well-behaved' during his 50-minute lecture on Friday.
A math professor at Morehouse College, an all-male historically black college in Atlanta, Georgia, is being praised for taking care of his student’s baby girl while teaching a class.
Before class started, Alexander offered to hold Assata so that Hayer could “take good notes” during the lesson, fellow student Nick Vaughn shared on social media. Alexander held Assata in a baby carrier throughout the 50-minute class and continued to carry her during office hours. “I’m not a father, I don’t have children of my own,” Alexander said. “I was worried that she would start crying. But it actually went perfectly. She was extremely well-behaved.”
Firda Amalia Hayer, Assata’s mother, also thanked Alexander for his “compassion and understanding” and everyone who had sent their “love and support.”
