Description
From the time he became one of the first African American football players at Robert E. Lee High School in Montgomery, Alabama, Ralph Stokes recognized a calling on his life for the cause of racial integration.
This calling followed him everywhere he went. After becoming one of the first five Black football players at the University of Alabama and making many advances there, Ralph was a pioneer for integration in the business arena and later in the world of golf.
Throughout his life, Ralph was frequently told all the things he couldn’t do as a Black man. Over and over, he proved his critics wrong. Many barriers were broken, and the cause of racial integration was advanced. No matter what he faced, Ralph always looked out into his promised land and decided he could go in and take it.
Let his story inspire you to go and take your promised land.
