Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! It was exactly 25 years ago today – Nov. 27, 1989 — that I turned in a paper to my Black History professor at Vanderbilt focusing on a former Commodore basketball player named Perry Wallace. Thank you to Prof. Yollette Jones for encouraging me to pursue a project that I was as interested in as a sophomore college kid as I am today. And to Perry Wallace for putting up with me for a quarter-century!
