Mawi Asgedom fled the civil war in Ethiopia and spent part of his childhood in a refugee camp in Sudan. Later, his family was able to emigrate to America. Mawi triumphed, eventually giving the commencement address at his Harvard graduation. But his father had a much harder time adjusting. Mawi Asgedom tells his story to Steve Paulson, and in a book called “Of Beetles and Angels.”
