Jerry LeVias, first Black scholarship athlete at SMU, describes treatment on football field

[@phightowerv]

Jerry Levias was a major inspiration in my life. His courage was a breakthrough for humankind.

My grandpa played football at SMU almost 100 years ago. One day, one of his teammates told him that he was gong to quit, and drop out of school. My grandpa talked him out of it. The man's name was Willis Tate. Several years later, he became the 5th president of SMU.

Chuck Hixson to Jerry LeVias, a fond memory from my youth.

Don't forget Mac White to Jerry Levias either. Got them to the 1967 Cotton Bowl vs. Georgia!

@@wendelwilliams1425 If I'm not incorrect, the coach was Hayden Fry who later went to Iowa where it seemed all he did was run the ball.

Hayden Frye deserves more respect
