Central State University gave “The Baddest Man on the Planet” Mike Tyson and boxing promotor Don King honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters degrees in 1989.
“Mike demonstrates that hard work, determination, and perseverance can enable one to overcome any obstacles,” said Central State president Arthur Thomas at the time.
What’s more, would you believe me if I told you Charles Ramsey, the Cleveland hero who rescued three woman and a girl from captivity, took some classes as a freshman student at Central State during the same year?
