This man came up as a champion when the odds were all against him. The 60’s saw the worst civil unrest because of the color of your skin. The civil rights movement in the US stands out more than any other movement including the anti-war movement. Lee is not only a golf champion but also peoples champion. He was able to put aside how he was treated on the pro golf circuit by other “professionals” and let his abilities speak for themselves. I admire this man not only for his golfing abilities but as a person who rose above the constant taunting just because of his last name. Oh which by the way has made him million$. Thank you Lee for being the inspiration that you are.

Lee’s great personality
