Dolphus Outruns Same Field that Beat Him

 

I’m Frank (Stroud) Shines.

 

On Sunday June 1, 1930, two years after collapsing from malnutrition and exhaustion at the 1928 Olympic Trials, my grandfather Tandy and his brother Dolphus outpaced those who beat Dolphus in 1928.

 

This time Dolphus did not have to run, walk and hitchhike 2,000 miles across 1928 de facto segregated America because he was not allowed to ride the train with the white athletes.

 

Imagine if people of all genders, religions, races, ethnicities, economic and social class had an equal place at the starting line.

 

In honor of my grandfather Tandy, my great uncle Dolphus (both star scholar-athletes), and their parents and siblings, RACE gives back to underserved communities in the USA, Angola, Ghana and Brazil through the Stroud Leadership Academy.

 

Thank you for helping current and future generations of Stroud, business and community leaders.

Sachs Foundation

The Sachs Foundation provides college scholarships to Black students from Colorado. The Sachs Foundation was first envisioned in 1927 when Henry Sachs promised family friend Effie Stroud, the top student at Colorado Springs High School, that he would pay for her to attend Colorado College. Effie’s brother Dolphus became the first scholarship recipient.

Dolphus is a 1931 graduate of Colorado College as was his younger sister, Effie.  The Stroud Scholars program honors the legacy of two of the earliest African-American students to graduate from Colorado College, siblings Kelley Dolphus Stroud ’31 and Effie Stroud Frazier ’31, who persevered through discrimination yet excelled in education and in their lives.
