Carl Maxie Brashear There are many people who come to mind when I think of African American role models‚ instead of going with the obvious‚ I decided to find a more current example of direction‚ discipline‚ and determination. (That fact that this man is from Kentucky and is not a boxer didn’t hurt either.) All leaders and role models have the natural sense of where they want to go and what it will take to get there.
