The New York Times - Dr. LeRoy T. Walker

"LeRoy T. Walker, a leading American track and field coach who was the first African-American to coach a United States men’s Olympic track team and to serve as the president of the United States Olympic Committee, died Monday in Durham, N.C... When he was named the president of the U.S.O.C., he told The New York Times that he marveled at the road he had taken as 'a guy born in Atlanta, where segregation was rampant.' He added, 'It sounds Hollywoodish, yet there it is.'"

The Post Game - NC Central University

"'White boy.' That's how Landon Clement is referred to by a lot of students here on the historically black campus of North Carolina Central University. When he first arrived two years ago, the term was not exactly a compliment...But he was no hanger-on. He was good. Really good...But students here don't just appreciate Clement because he can shoot the trey. They also respect the way he carries himself -- the way he walks through campus with his hoodie up and backpack strapped tight, calling no attention to himself whatsoever. He's not a big talker. In fact, he's not much of a talker at all."
