The Incredible Journey of Legson Kayira: A Remarkable Story of Determination and Triumph
Of the many immigrant stories associated with the Skagit Valley, one of the most amazing has to be that of Legson Kayira. Born in the African country of Malawi during the Second World War, Kayira embarked on an incredible journey across Africa, by foot, with the goal of attending Skagit Valley College -- a goal that took him two years and thousands of miles to fulfill. Meyer Sign's Skagit Valley Youth History Project intern Morgan White tells his story in this Tales of the Magic Skagit episode.
