Legston Kayira wanted to go to America to study - but for a poor boy from Nyasaland Africa in 1958 - this was a seemingly impossible dream. He wanted to go to America, so he simply started walking - first 3000 miles to Cairo Egypt where he worked for awhile to earn money - then to Spain and finally to America where he eventually graduated college and became a professor at Columbia University. So....next time you complain about walking a mile to class from the dorm - think about this guy. His story needs to be a movie.
