Golf/Doby/Shabazz (1227)

1) Black golfers remember John Shippen, who sparked controversy when he signed up to play in a golf tournament in 1896. They also discuss the history of black in golf, a tale of racism, discrimination and segregation. This is followed by a look at The LPGA Urban Youth Golf Program in Atlantic City. Designed to expose urban youth to the game of golf, the program gives free instruction, equipment and course access to the less fortunate. 2) Next, a profile of the accomplishments of July 1998 Hall of Fame inductee Larry Doby. It was only 11 weeks after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier of the major leagues that Doby also crossed the line. 3) Last, we reflect on the life, strength and legacy of Dr. Betty Shabazz, wife of the late Malcolm X. In this very emotional tribute you'll hear from co-workers, close friends, well-known others, and Betty herself at her last NJ speaking engagement before her tragic death.
