The story about Mr. Horton going into the middle of the riots, wearing his Tigers uniform, in an attempt to facilitate peace is one of the greatest sports stories ever, one of the greatest human stories ever. It's sad that Detroit still burned, but Willie Horton can live the rest of his life knowing that of all the stories to emerge from that troubling time, his was the one that most clearly shows the good things people are capable of, even when times are bad. It is very inspirational.
