Excellent story in today's Blade talking to Louis Orr, Daryl Clements and Brian Moten about the inauguration of the first African-American President. It is very moving in fact, especially as Coach Orr remembers his parents, their activism, and what today would have meant to them.
Also, the story concludes with Clements explaining the Fordham incident as a "misunderstanding" and that he and Coach Jackson are closer than they were before the incident. Which takes us back to all the people on the Internets who were calling for "zero tolerance" and for Clements to be disciplined. Coach Orr knew what had to be done. This isn't a movie about people's lives---it is people's actual lives.
