In 1969, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Sr. was held
hostage by Samuel L.
Jackson and several other Morehouse College students
on the school campus.
Jackson was charged with and eventually convicted
of unlawful confinement, a second-degree felony, then suspended for two years.
He
would later return to the college to earn his Bachelor of Arts in Drama in
1972.

A
POSITIVE BLACK SPORT STORY
Madison Keys cruising

Madison Keys'
off-season training in Florida at the new USTA Training Facility has been
paying huge dividends as she is cruising through the draw with a 6-0, 6-1 win
over E. Alexandrova in the second round. Today was a huge day for Madison,
not only did she win in less than 90 minutes, her biggest threat - Muguruza -
fell straight sets to Hsieh in the second round.
This leaves a huge door
of opportunity open for Madison. If she can dodge the heat with short matches
with her power baseline game big things are headed her way. If the draw
plays out she could face Simona Halep in the semifinals. We can't grant her the
title yet as its inevitable that she will be tested with longer matches and
there will be days where her power game generates more errors than winners.
However, the law of averages are on Madison's side as she makes a
push toward the first title of her career.
