Richard Fisher | “From homeless to Harvard”

Tower Center Board Member and former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Richard Fisher wrote a column in the Dallas Morning News telling the story of his father, Leslie Fisher.

In the column, Fisher describes his father’s journey from a homeless child in Queensland, Australia to a traveling salesman and eventual U.S. citizen.

“There isn’t a person reading this whose ancestors didn’t come from the humblest origins, who didn’t come from nowhere with nothing.”
