"The Black 14’s “Mind, Body and Soul” initiative plans to dispatch tractor trailers, each loaded with 40,000 pounds of food, to nine communities identified by active Black 14 players, member John Griffin said Thursday. With the help of UW’s diversity program and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the former players seek to feed hungry students in needy neighborhoods of their choosing."

 

Truly remarkable.  I guess what I'm trying to say is, if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change. @#1Stunner

We need to appropriately cap this off by scheduling a Wyoming vs BYU football game in Las Vegas, the first week of January, 2021

Thank you to @OrediggerPoke and @AndroidAggie's father in law, for somehow making this happen.

Also thank you to Larry Echo Hawk, proud native of Cody, Wyoming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Echo_Hawk

The first of nine nationwide donations was made in Laramie, Wyoming, where 14 Black football players first voiced concern about a race-based Church policy 51 years ago

I have nothing to do with this happening so I’m not going to take any credit.  All the credit goes to those involved...Especially the Black 14 for putting the terrible treatment they received in the past behind them to truly become inspirational.

Interesting how this all Happened. Hamilton married a descendant of Brigham Young. His son is a member of the Church. 2005 The local LDS institute reach out to him to speak to church members. Hamilton then invited the Church to be part of the Wyoming recognition of the 14.
 

Wyoming needs to get the copyright taken care of so the shirts being sold have Wyoming on it as well. 
 

Amazing story of forgiveness from these 14 individuals.
