John Morton-Finney lived an extraordinary life. He was born in 1889, and he faced barriers that made education and professional success difficult. But he never stopped trying. He served in the U.S. Army as a Buffalo Soldier with the 24th Infantry Regiment, went on to earn 11 college degrees, taught for 47 years, and became a lawyer later in life.

John passed away on January 28, 1998. He spent more than a century learning, teaching, and working in the law. He kept going when most people would have stopped. Few people know his story, but it shows what a lifetime of persistence can look like.
