He Will Not Be Forgotten

Have you ever heard of Ernie Davis? If you’re an avid football fan, you might have heard the name before. He was the first African American to win the Heisman Trophy in college football. Although his story has a sad ending, Davis made history by winning the trophy in 1961. During his short but memorable career, he also made the first pick in the 1962 NFL.

This is quite an inspiring story, one that anyone would happily share with their friends, family, and even strangers on the internet. It’s too bad Davis passed away before his time, but he lives on in the memory of his family and fans. Isn’t it amazing a genogram can reveal you’re related to great people?
