“I am deeply honored to be part of the launch of Versity as a professor of one of its first courses,” said Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor at Harvard who will be instructing one of Versity’s inaugural courses. “Since Socrates, great teaching has always been characterized by great storytelling.
