Stanford, the struggles of other black athletes, and the challenges we still face today. This video won 4th place nationally for Senior Group Documentary at National History Day in 2008.

THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE LARDEST HBCU IN WORLD THOUGH: DEFUNDING PASSING LAWS IN LOUISIANA THATS SET UP TO HURT THE HBCU, CHARECTOR ASSASSINATION IN THE BATON ROUGE MEDIA, TERRORISM WITH THE CONSTANT FEAR OF THEM TAKING THE SCHOOL OVER, MUNIPULATION AND ESPIONAGE..

This story deserves more. It's a shame that it's not more well known.
