Missouri Football Players Stand Up for their Rights!



Finally!!!  It is a pleasure to see young Black brothers standing up not only for what they believe in but representing other students of color on their campus. Protesting in the streets is just not enough to impact change for people of color. The protest of these young men brings hope that more people of color will engage in this type of protest that creates a significant impact not only on major events such as America's favorite sport but also on the bottom line which, in this case, is the loss in millions in revenue to the university if these young men do not play. Great job young men! Hats off to you! Stay the course as Black folks in Alabama did during the 1960s when they refused to ride on public transportation until they were granted the right to sit anywhere they chose instead of being ordered to sit at the back of the bus or give up their seats to the whites. The stance of these young men must be supported by all whose racial discrimination plea has gone unheard for so many years.
