Somehow, their struggles have been synonymous with our own inability to elevate ourselves out of negativity. We, ourselves, too often fear that, although a few may fly high in the sky, most of us will lose. Today, we see Tiger and the Williams sisters, among many, many others, continuously achieve their levels of excellence and inspire countless children of color to dream the dream. Traditionally, football, basketball and baseball have harbored hope for, and offered the way to, success, riches and fame for most of America's Black kids. Today, tennis, golf and even hockey have taken over as the competitive challenge.
Society has to acknowledge that things have really changed.
We must not hold ourselves back. We must believe. That which we see done by some, we all can do.
