Good on Jarrett Irons. He and some other business leaders are paying to get a copy of "Black and Blue" (the Gerald Ford/Willis Ward documentary) into every high school in Michigan for Black History Month. What a great thing. LINK.

What a great great gesture of respect  by Jarrett Irons towards Willis Ward and Jerry Ford.  Other than Michigan fans relatively few people know of their story, a story that should be made known to the whole state, the whole country, and the whole world.

Thank you Mr. Irons.  Wonderful idea!

This is a really cool thing.  

I saw the documentary when they screened it at the Ford Library a few years ago and hadn't known much about the story until then.  It's a really good film.
