That means better than Red Grange, Jim Brown, Walter Payton and Barry Sanders.

That notion of protecting the white female chastity was the impetus behind anti-miscegenation laws, and countless lynchings - including those of Emmitt Till, and, less famously, James Cameron, a black man who was accused of murder and rape in Marion, Ind., in 1930 and survived his attempted lynching, though his two co-defendants did not. Anticipating his imminent death at the hands of the angry mob, Cameron (who was later exonerated from both...
