Beaty, and Ed McPherson, brothers one and all Prologue THE DEFENDER’S EYES grow wide, as they well should. He’s about to face the kind of kinesthetic brilliance that first motivated humans to invent slow- motion technology—something, anything, that would allow them to review exactly what happens when movement plays tricks on the mind. The setting is painfully familiar. Something in the offensive structure has broken down at the other end of the floor, igniting a fast break. The entire defense is retreating. The defender has sprinted back down the floor and, as he turns, he sees the blur. The dark form in red has the ball, dribbling and winding his way through the chaos at great speed. He crosses the ball over from right to left and draws it up in two hands just off his left hip in midstride. At this exact moment, the tongue falls out of his face. Sometimes, it shows just slightly between the teeth, but at this moment, the full tongue drops grotesquely, like some comic doll silently mocking the defender.

  • Embracing a Will to Excellence
    ABSTRACT EMERSON, DIANE EUGENIA. Education to Subordinate-Education to Liberate. An Historical Study of the Dual Role of Education for African Americans, 1865-1968. (Dr. Anna Victoria Wilson, Chairperson) This research is an historical study of African Americans’ experience acquiring education in North Carolina. In particular, I examine the ideological and institutional factors that shaped public education for African Americans following the Emancipation Act in 1865. Primary data includes an oral history of the experiences of teachers and students at Williston High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. Oral history serves as the principal vehicle for understanding Williston High School as a segregated learning institution along with document analysis of personal and public records. Williston High School was the sole secondary school for African American students in Wilmington, North Carolina, from 1919 until 1968. Founded in 1866, Williston was the first free school for African American students in the southern part of Wilmington. Local African American citizens raised their own funds to start the school. Desegregation forced the school to close in 1968. A brief history of African Americans in Wilmington, North Carolina, during the Reconstruction era contributes to understanding the local African American community’s efforts to maintain and enhance its only high school despite blatant acts of racism.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 17, No. 6 (1995)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 17, No. 6 (1995) ROMAN GABRIEL By Robert R. Jackson It's been eighteen years now since "the worlds biggest Filipino" has taken a snap from center in a regular season game. At 6'4" and 235 pounds, Roman Gabriel is considered the first truly big quarterback of the modern era. A trend at the time which has become standard in today's National Football League. He was born August 5, 1940 in Wilmington, North Carolina. "It's the home of Meadowlark Lemon, Sonny Jorgensen, Michael Jordan, Charles Kuralt, and the country-western fiddler Charlie Daniels," Roman points out. "So the water and food must have been good." Gabe was, until his teenage years, small for his age and often sickly. A self described "stubborn kid", he was afflicted as a boy with asthma so severe that he had great difficulty in even walking a few blocks to school. But the ailment gradually disappeared over time. Although he followed in the footsteps of fellow New Hanover High star Sonny Jorgensen, during an era of ever more budding gridiron stars, the young Gabriel didn't have any boyhood sports idols. "My dad is my number one hero in my lifetime. Then from there I would say my high school coach Leon Brogden. And Earl Edwards, my college coach." Roman Ildonzo Gabriel Sr. immigrated from the Philippines in 1925. He worked as a laborer in Alaska and California before eventually settling down in North Carolina. And although he was strict with young Roman, he did encourage his son in sports from a very early age.
