FIRST BLACK COACH TO WIN SUPER BOWL

Dungy keeps his perspective

Tony Dungy of the Indianapolis Colts became the first African
American NFL head coach to win a Super Bowl.

The victory marked the first time a Black head coach had
reached the National Football League’s championship game,
one that featured not just one, but two Black head coaches.

Super Bowl XLI pitted Dungy and his Colts against Lovie Smith,
head coach of the Chicago Bears.

The Bears shocked the Colts with a 92-yard kick return for a
touchdown in the first 14 seconds of the game. Despite this
demoralizing start, the Colts and quarterback Peyton Manning
came back to
defeat the Bears, 29-17.

It was the Colts’ first Super Bowl victory since 1971, when they
played in Baltimore.

The Patricia Hearst Trial:The Local Lawyers Remember - United States  District Court Northern District of California Historical Society

On February 4, 1974, Patty Hearst, the 19-year-old granddaughter
of newspaper publisher
William Randolph Hearst, was kidnapped
from her apartment in Berkeley, Cal, by three armed strangers.

Her fiancé, Steven Weed, was beaten and tied up along with a
neighbor who tried to help.

Witnesses reported seeing a struggling Hearst being carried
away blindfolded, and she was put in the trunk of a car.

Neighbors who came out into the street were forced to take
cover after the kidnappers fired their guns to cover their
escape.
