Doug Williams
● In 1988, the Washington Redskins and the Denver
Broncos clashed in San Diego, Calif. for Super Bowl XXII.
Quarterback Doug Williams led the Skins to victory,
becoming the first Black starting quarterback to play in
the big game and the first Black quarterback to be named
Super Bowl MVP.
● Williams became the first player in Super Bowl history to
pass for four touchdowns in a single quarter and also the
first to score four in a half. Williams threw for a total of
340 yards and won the MVP award.
● Williams was named to the College Football Hall of Fame
in 2001.Homer Gilliam Phillips
● Attorney, Civic Leader. Homer Gilliam Phillips, moved
to St. Louis in 1904.
● Philips was among the many black taxpayers angry
with the city government because their tax dollars
went to support hospitals where only white medical
workers could be trained.
● In 1922, Phillips supported an $87 million bond issue.
His primary focus was to secure $1 million of this
bond issue to construct a new hospital for blacks in
North St. Louis.
● The hospital attracted many of the top black medical
professionals of the time and developed into one of
the nation's leading African-American hospitals. Its
staff was dedicated to both the hospital and the
advancement of medical science.Cheryl Mills
● Cheryl Mills made headlines this week in 1999 when
she addressed the U.S. Senate during President Bill
Clinton’s explosive impeachment trial.
● Mills, a young attorney at the time, also made history
by becoming the first Black person to address the
Senate during an impeachment hearing. She joined
Clinton’s staff as Associate Counsel in 1993.
● In December 1998, Clinton was impeached by the U.S.
House of Representatives on two charges. Mills’
opening statements humanized Clinton as a flawed
person but stopped short of calling him a criminal.
● Some observers even stated that she might have
swayed the Senate to acquittal behind her words and
the delivery of her statementsYou can also read
