Nunnie on the Sideline

I had the privilege and honor of being one of twelve former alumni who participated in a weekend of activities culminating in our induction into the Tuskegee University Athletic Hall of Fame, Class of 2025. Activities included a formal banquet, the very first night football game ever played at Cleve Abbott Field and a Baccalaureate service on Sunday in the University Chapel. Inductees received Hall of Fame jackets, rings and polo shirts. It is recognition for which I am extremely proud. Britt Keith Lyle, inducted for his exploits and accomplishments as a tennis player, made what I considered a profound observation at the conclusion of his acceptance speech,  which I believed captured the essence and unity of our class: We may have played different sports, but we are one team. Most, if not all of us, were meeting for the very first time and over the course of three days we formed an unbreakable bond.
