Coach John Wooden and Clarence Walker's involvement in breaking the color barrier in college athletics, and their story in doing so, signify their principles as human beings. Although Wooden's professional coaching career in the NAIA was limited to two years, his contribution and stance for justice is a cornerstone of the NAIA legacy.

I didn't know the Clarence Walker/Indiana State story until reading about John Wooden's death. Like Coach Wooden, Mr. Walker seems like a remarkable man and that he endured during difficult circumstances and made a positive impact on dismantling segregation.
