At ‘Words to Live By,’ co-hosted by The News and the Dallas Historical Society, LeVias shared his story of breaking the color line in the Southwest Conference.
about LeVias and other Black players who integrated college football in the South. In it, he spoke of the racist abuse he endured both on and off the field as a Black athlete in the ‘60s and touched on his life-altering conversation with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in March of 1966.“It brings back memories,” LeVias said after the clip ended. “Looking at that, I don’t want to brag, but under those circumstances, I think about it. I did good.
“Don’t let anyone tell you who you are,” LeVias said. “You learn about you, find out about yourself first. Know who you are and what you want to do.” “When Coach Fry visited her, you know, she says, ‘My son, my grandson, is a very religious man.’” She said, LeVias recalled, “What I want him to do, if you can coach, I want him to wear number 23 and be like David and Goliath.”
