By Lynn Williams Women have made great strides within our global sports community. The arena of sports has also been influenced by these milestones and accomplishments. In tribute to the ladies of sports, who leave it all out there on the court, field, ring, track or mat, we highlight and celebrate a few stars that shine in the Milky Way of our much loved sports universe. They are daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, aunts, role models, mentors, authors, volunteers and just inspiring and phenomenal women.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee and she’s all woman. Laila Ali, more than a pretty face and the daughter of the beloved and famed Mohamed Ali, set the boxing world a blaze and a chattering. This five foot 10 inch boxer with a 70.4 inch reach caught the eye of boxing fans when she won eight fights in a row. Many fans wanted to see her face the daughter of George Foreman, Freeda Foreman or the daughter of Joe Frazier, Jackie Frazier- Lyde. Well destiny was met on June 8, 2001. The match was dubbed the Ali/Frazier IV in reference to their fathers’ famous fight trilogy. Laila and Jackie’s match made pay- for-view history. It was the first pay-for-view match between two Black women. Ali’s boxing record to date stands at 24 wins in 24 matches. She had 21 wins by knockouts. That’s right, no losses! Laila was named by the International Boxing Association, the Women’s Association and the International Woman’s Boxing Federation as a Super Middleweight Champion. Currently, she was just named as the Women’s Sports Foundation incoming president. She will serve a two- year term as an official spokesperson, and will help shape strategic direction and development initiatives for the organization. The Women’s Sports Foundation is a national charitable educational organization dedicated to advancing the lives of girls and women through Laila Ali physical activity. Balancing work and home life, Laila and her husband Curtis Conway, a former National Football League (NFL) wide receiver, have their hands full with their four children (he has three from a previous marriage), and they are expecting their second together.

Today, minorities are experiencing high school dropout rates in excess of 50 percent in many urban cities across the nation. Students that do graduate are having a more difficult time finding universities they can afford—and where their culture is appreciated.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have served the social, cultural and educational needs of America’s young men and women for the last 170 years. Their rich traditions and academic excellence have produced thousands of leaders in the fields of business, medicine, politics, law and sports.

Yet, many students across the United States are unaware of the significance and relevance of these great institutions. That’s why Black Educational Events has created HBCU Today, a comprehensive guide to our nation’s HBCUs.

HBCUs are producing the highest number of African- American Ph.D.s per capita and, according to Grambling University President Horace Judson, at a time when the The glaring reality is that without the role and function of HBCUs, United States is falling behind China and India in producing the landscape of America would be quite different.
