Portrait by Del Bey

Coaching athletics, civil and human rights, housing, banking,
author-Overcoming: an autobiography published 2002.

What do you think of the Civil Rights Movement today?


"Well, I think it´s still in existence. I think it´s more powerful
than we think it is. I think because of the technical understanding and
the promotional ways of the news media we know how to get across to a large
number of people without being beaten, or having hoses put on you, or dogs after you.
We´re past that.
We are now using intelligence that we have picked up through the areas
of learning institutions with people who can teach us and guide us. Weªre
becoming more sophisticated with it and we don´t have to allow people to
put their lives on the line to get things done. There will always be a
need. There will always be people that will disagree. There will always be
people that will hate, distrust, and humiliate people of color."
