Source disputes

The Baltimore Afro-American Aug 1980 and other sources seem to be in disagreement. I'm not sure which to rely upon and it's not clear if he was the first AA athlete at Ohio State and whether he graduated. Some source says he did and the other not. Some forces likely really did not want him to graduate. 97.85.168.22 (talk) 03:04, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
