It's a dream come true, as Kevin Richardson becomes the first person to receive an honorary undergraduate degree from Syracuse University.
Richardson is a member of the Exonerated Five, one of the five Black and Hispanic men who were falsely accused of raping a white woman in 1989.
In 2002, the five were exonerated after the real rapist came forward.
The story was brought to light in a Netflix series last year.
While promoting 'When They See Us," Richardson mentioned he had hopes of attending SU.
A scholarship was created in his name.
Now, the university is taking it a step further.
Richardson is receiving an honorary bachelor of fine arts in music.
The school says they hope to honor his dream of attending SU and playing the trumpet.
