Shaun King will travel with 20 students to learn about civil rights issues.
Timing is everything.
The Bucs had just signed free agent Brad Johnson when quarterback Shaun King was scheduled to meet with the middle school students he had been mentoring since the fall. The eighth-graders from Academy Prep and John Hopkins Middle School had heard the news, and their thoughts and questions were about King's future. I wanted them to know that I was going to fight. King told the group that was the philosophy of his King's Dream education program and the message of its central theme, the civil rights movement. He told us that it gives him the chance to work harder and fight for what he wants.
