This is the life story of an African American man who's life was filled with many triumphs and defeats. Even at an early age he realized that he would have to engage in struggles and battles to establish dignity and equality. His growing up in the Mid-West was a constant reminder that racism could raise its ugly existence at anytime and anywhere. However, his quest for excellence and equality was always foremost in his character and mind. The influence of his mother and father's families played an important role in shaping his decision to be involved in civil rights of the 60's and 70's. Although athletics allowed him the opportunity to attend college on scholarship he never forgot that standing for what's right eliminates regret.
