Fame and fate: when role models fail
Article Abstract:
The African-American community should consider people who have contributed to the community as their role models and not professional sportsmen who have done little to the community. The African-American community is shocked over the actions of sportsmen such as O.J. Simpson and Mike Tyson since the black considered there men as the heroes of their society. People should admire people such as Jackie Joyuer Kersee who has established a non profit sports foundation and Bill White who set positive examples for the young people emulate.
