STRUGGLING TO STAND UP There I was on April 5, 1968, giving my first civil rights speech, just a day after the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been killed as he worked to defend the rights of striking garbage workers in Memphis, Tennessee. Like so many others on that day, I was shocked and saddened by the news. It was this event and the prodding by members of Students for a Democratic Society2 that prompted some black athletes and me to speak out at the University of Colorado. Our speaking out enabled us to obtain many concessions from the University, including the first programs for minority students. My life changed forever because I was pushed to stand up for my rights. Throughout the modern civil rights movement, important leaders have emerged because they similarly were inspired to act.
