Baby Geniuses: Snapshots Of 7 Of Our Favorite Black Child Prodigies
Stephen R. Stafford II
Nothing says “I’m smarter than you” than going to college at a time when most 16-year-old’s are just worried about getting a license or getting out of sophomore year of high school (or going into your junior year). But that’s exactly what Stephen R. Stafford II has going on. In fact, the young man started studying at Morehouse when he was 11, and wasn’t just studying one major, but three. His genius has garnered him much media attention (remember when he was on “Tyra” a few years ago?). Now 16, Stafford continues to do a slew of public speaking, and the young man and his mother like to do outreach programs and provide support for other young and gifted teens. He did drop one of his majors (pre-med), and is currently sticking with computer science and mathematics. He hopes to be done at Morehouse when he turns 17.
