Dodgers coach's mom marched with MLK, stared down the Ku Klux Klan

Posy Lombard was a civil rights activist who marched with MLK and was surveilled by the FBI. Galvanized by the Black Lives Matter movement, her son is sharing her story with his team -- and the world.

Mal Kimmel was one of 14 Wichita State football players killed when a team plane crashed on October 2, 1970 — a college football tragedy 50 years ago. So I wrote about him ... and the impact his death had on three generations of his remarkable family.
