Is It Time To Honor Len Bias?
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2012-04-23/it-time-honor-len-bias
It's been more than two decades since Len Bias, a University of Maryland basketball star, died of a drug overdose. Since then, the memories of Bias' achievements on the court have been pushed aside by those of his tragic death - an event that scarred both his school and the Washington region. But Bias is among those being honored this year by a local basketball hall of fame - a tribute some feel is long overdue. We explore Bias' often controversial legacy.

Went to school with Bias in mid 80's. The Univ of MD should honor him for two reasons: his athletic achievement and MD's racist policies when Parren J Mitchell was a student on the campus only 15-or so years before Len Bias. They should consider honoring Bias as reparations.
