    Franco Harris: The Best African-American Football Player

    While there are several NJ Hall of Fame members I can identify with, the person that I have the most in common with in terms of personal experience and lifestyle is Franco Harris. Franco Harris was an elite level African-American football player who played running back for the Steelers and Seahawks who was the first African-American to win the Super Bowl MVP award in 1975. Aside from playing football, the reason why I chose Harris because we are both pioneers in a sense. He was one first of the great African American postseason running backs and the first black Super Bowl MVP. I am the first person in my family to play D1 collegiate athletics, which is already a small company as about 2% of high school football players play D1 football.…

    Bear Bryant Research Paper

    Bear Bryant has one of the winningest records of all time, with a 323-85-17 (Sports-Reference.com). Bryant coached at Alabama for 25 years, and in that span, he won 6 national championships, but Alabama was not the only place that Bear coached, he also coached at Maryland, Kentucky, and Texas A&M previous to Alabama (Biography.com). At Alabama was where he got his 323rd win all time, and one month after his final game, he died at the age of 70 in 1983. At the time of his 323rd win, that was the most wins ever by a college football coach, but it now sits at 8th on the all time wins list, which is still outstanding. Bear Bryant was, and still is a big deal in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where the community has buildings and streets named after him, which shows just how much Bear meant to the Alabama football community, and the community. Not much is known about the personal side of Bear, he was very reserved, and even his inner circle of people do not give much away about the person of Mr. Bear Bryant. He was not home very often, because he was always on the road with the team or at his office, or meetings, but of the few stories there are of Bryant, they are of his generosity, or how he would joke with people, so based off of the stories give, he seemed like a pretty nice guy to be around. On the field, he was a demanding coach that wanted the best effort from his players and wanted to win. Off the field, he did not give much away about himself, making it hard to make a clear judgement of what he was…

    John Brown: America's First True Hero

    John Brown was an American born abolitionist who actively fought Slavery through the use of violence. His ultimate goal was to overthrow the entire system of Slavery in the south, and he went about doing so through armed attacks, including his infamous raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859. John Brown’s armed attack on Harper’s Ferry caused a major dispute between the nation’s separate slavery movements, and had substantial effects in the social and political ideologies of the American people. His antics ultimately played a key role in the swaying of opinions towards slavery leading into the upcoming presidential election of 1860, and as a result, should be considered America’s first true hero. Despite his poorly thought out, and short lasting raid…
