 Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby, Willie O’Ree and Jamie Harris would not be pleased over this idea of having an ‘all black school’. And one could add Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, James Meredith (he’s the first black student who attended the University of Mississippi in 1962) and the many others who fought while some gave their lives, for integration.

I spent my childhood watching Willie O’Ree fly through the Quebec Professional hockey league with the Quebec Aces and he became the first black man to play in the NHL when he was called up by the Boston Bruins for two games in 1958 and 43 more in 1960-61. |
