Here are a few interesting posts today...The Zone Blitz has an interesting story about Don Ultang, who died on September 18th...Ultang along with John Robinson, won a Pulitzer Prize for a series of photos that show a brutal attack on Johnny Bright (photo, right), an African-American football player, during the Drake University-Oklahoma A&M football game on Oct. 20, 1951, in Stillwater, Oklahoma...the photo was shot for the Des Moines Register...the attack became known as the "Johnny Bright Incident."...at the time, Bright was seen as the country's first black Heisman Trophy candidate. The photographs highlighted the racial tension in the years preceding the civil rights era, made the cover of Life magazine and won Ultang and Robinson the Pulitzer Prize...
