Fleming is a nationally acclaimed educator and author of “Miseducated: A Memoir” (Hachette Books). His story of struggle, success and service has inspired millions around the world. An at-risk youth and college dropout turned award-winning educator, Fleming is Assistant Debate Coach at Harvard University and founder/CEO of the Harvard Diversity Project. Fleming was recruited to join the Harvard debate faculty at the age of 27. Harvard later approved Fleming’s proposal to establish a
new department within the university system called the Harvard Diversity Project—an unprecedented pipeline program of the Harvard Debate Council. Fleming now leads an executive staff and board that has raised more than $1 million to enroll more than 100 students of color into Harvard’s international summer debate residency on full scholarship.
