I don't have our first book. I'm waiting to see if we will do an order through Precious Memories, so I talk about something else before we get into the book.
Sunday, January 21, 2007 was a historic day for Black America. Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy become the first black head coaches to take teams to the Super Bowl. I still can't believe it. I knew it was possible, but I felt that perhaps one of them would win and make it. When I considered the possibility of them both being there, I got chills. I still do when I think about it. I am so proud of them both. It's sports, not politics or another more "influential" position in society, but it's a huge statement to the world. We all know of other black coaches that have been passed over for coaching jobs. For the first time ever, I don't care who wins the Super Bowl. We will have a black coach win the Super Bowl!!!
