| If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without demand. FREDERICK DOUGLASS |

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. |

June 23, 1940, in St. Bethlehem, TN, Rudolph grew up in nearby
Clarksville. As a young child, Rudolph's left leg was crippled by
polio. Determined to walk without a brace, Rudolph wrote in her
1977 autobiography, "I think I started acquiring a competitive
spirit right then and there … a spirit that would make me
successful in sports later on." By the time she was 12, the
brace had been sent back to the hospital, and Rudolph was the
star of her high school track and basketball teams. Within four
years she had developed into a world-class sprinter. After
graduating high school, Rudolph received a full scholarship to
Tennessee State College, today Tennessee State University.
At the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, 16-year-old
Rudolph helped her team win a bronze medal in the 400-meter
team relay. Four years later in Rome, after setting a world record
at trials in Texas, she became the first American woman to win
three gold medals in track-and-field during a single Olympic
Games. Running on a sprained ankle, Rudolph placed first in the
100-and 200-meter dashes and anchored her team to victory in
the 400-meter relay.
Rudolph retired from running in 1962 at the height of her
success. She worked as a teacher and a coach, and in the
early 1980s established the Wilma Rudolph Foundation, a
nonprofit group focused on development of young athletes.
Respected for her perseverance and grace, she was twice
named Associated Press Woman Athlete of the Year (1960,
1961), inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 1983, and
honored with the National Sports Award in 1993.
Wilma Rudolph died in her Brentwood, TN, home, outside
Nashville, on Nov. 12, 1994.

| Roll your eyes in ecstasy and ape his every move, but until we have placed something upon his street corner that is our own, we are right back where we were when they filed our iron collar off. I know that I can only get into the sunlight by work and only remain there by more work. Zora Neale Hurston |

| When you control a man's thinking, you do not have to worry about his actions. You do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his "proper place" and will stay in it. You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one out for his special benefit. Carter G. Woodson |
