“Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire, the power to unite people in a way that
little else can do. It speaks to people in a language they can
understand. It is an instrument for peace, more powerful than governments. It breaks down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all kinds of racial discrimination. The heroes sport creates are examples of this power. They are valiant not only on the playing field
but also in the community, spreading hope and inspiration to the world.”
