Diversity+in+Sports



This web site was inspired by a class I took about race in our schools. It is dedicated to ALL athletes regardless of race or ethnicity. It recognizes and honors men and women from many walks-of-life. My goal is to increase student appreciation for a variety of sports represented by a variety of athletes from different cultural backgrounds. Please feel free to submit other athletes you consider to be worthy role models.
