cards. If you messed up, you got

'black athletes in the Atlantic Coast
Conference.
"It was very significant,” said
%bster, "For the first time, blacks
were getting involved in athletics in

pchievements — not just whether

Iniversity of Colorado and North-

Webster was among the first
^lack athletes at Parkland and says
te move was a hard one to make.
Tt was a delicate and tough
^jime to go from Atkins to Park-
^3d," said Webster. "But Coach
iiompson was a real big help in
Peiping things work out. He never
Pecmiied me or pressured me. It
pas my decision and I thought it
^as best for me at the lime."

plagued career,

something about me," he recalled
