'Black 14' kicked off Wyoming football team receives apology after 50 years.
"As a Christian man, I knew that wasn't right," he said."We felt like we had to do something. Protests were happening all over the country. So we just felt like it was our time."
The national media picked up the story. The players began receiving death threats as the small town suddenly became national news. They were subjected to harassment and racial obscenities on a daily basis. Some black residents wanted the 14 students to call it quits because it was making it harder for them to carry on with their lives.
Overall, he served as an educator for 40-plus years in Wyoming. He also got his master's degree in counseling psychology from Lesley University in 1992, via a program that sent professors from the Massachusetts school to Wyoming. The initiative was the latest nationally and locally that involves schools and government bodies apologizing for their roles in racial injustice. For example, William & Mary apologized in April 2018 for its use of slave labor.
