York, PA - Central York School District announced that Adam Taliaferro, a former PSU football standout who overcame a life-threatening spinal cord injury, will be the Keynote Speaker at the District's 6th Annual Diversity Celebration, which will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 21 at Central York Middle School.

Taliaferro broke his neck in 2000 during a routine helmet-to-helmet tackle in the final minutes of Penn State's game against Ohio State. He injured his spine so severely that doctors gave him a 3 percent chance of walking again. Taliaferro's family, friends and supporters -- including the late coach Joe Paterno -- inspired him to think positive and strive to beat the odds, which he did.

Today, he is a successful attorney with Duane Morris in New Jersey, the founder of a foundation that assists individuals with spinal injuries and an inspirational speaker who shares his story of positive thinking and resiliency with thousands across the nation each year.
