Remembering Grambling coach

Re “Record-setting Grambling coach made civil rights part of game plan,” obituary, April 5

Thank you for the excellent article on our beloved Coach Eddie Robinson. His love for “Dear Old Grambling,” his family, players and fans put a small black university on a worldwide map.

With today’s “blame everyone else” mentality, Everson Walls’ quote about Robinson should be on a plaque in every classroom and office: “Look for a way to succeed, not a reason to fail.”
