Humane tweak to immigration enforcement

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Dallas Morning News - Jul. 16 (Editorial) - Jobs are generally the reason migrants come here illegally.

Saga of NFL's African-American pioneers is an untold story

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Dallas Morning News - By Evan Grant - Feb. 25 (Special Report) - The story of Jackie Robinson's struggle to integrate Major League Baseball is told in a library full of books and a multiplex worth of movies and documentaries detailing its impact on the sport and American culture. The story of the NFL's African-American pioneers, however, remains largely forgotten. When the league sprang up in the early 1920s, Fritz Pollard was among its first stars. He was the first African-American coach, too. And, after a 13-year informal ban on African-American players, the league reintegrated a year before Jackie Robinson ever tugged on a Brooklyn Dodgers uniform. Yet Pollard was not inducted into the Hall of Fame until 2005, nearly 20 years after his death. The two Los Angeles Rams backs who reintegrated the league, Kenny Washington and Woody Strode, have never been formally recognized.
