DevinAs far as i know, he was just like any other African American boy growing up in his time. He probably had parents who were involved in the Civil Rights Movement, as well as himself. He would have idolized two Baseball players-one negro league, one major league. I know he loved the game of football too. If you want deep info, read a short biography. There are many books written about him.
