The Express Quotes
In 1956, Syracuse University's Jim Brown was perhaps the best running back college football had ever seen. But he was unable to become the first African-American to win the heisman trophy. Some said if Brown couldn't do it, it might never happen. One year later, Ernie Davis took the field.
Davis' father:
Mr. Brown, what's it like at Syracuse for men like us.
Jim Brown:
It's not that different than a lot of places.
Jim Brown:
But Schwartzwalder, he's one of the best coaches in college ball.
Reporter:
In light of what's going on in this country, do you feel added pressure to represent change.
Ernie Davis:
When I'm out on that field I only think about winning the game. But that doesn't mean I don't know the color of my own skin.
Ernie Davis:
I'm playing! You hear me?
Ben Schwartzwalder:
This is not just a game. We're fighting something else out on that field right now.
Ernie Davis:
I can't even walk in the front door of a hotel. Now all those people who believe that's right are watching. But you know what? So are they.
Ben Schwartzwalder:
Winning this one means nothing if you lose yourselves. Don't you let anyone steal history away from you.
