Think Different (Part 2)

People generally react to others who are willing to step outside the box of normalcy and behave in a way that is considered unconventional or unacceptable just like the general population of people would react to something new; some will like it and some will not. For example, with Martin Luther King Jr., some people liked what he was doing but most did not because it was something new and people hate to see change.

It was so important for Don Haskins to think different because his thinking had potential to change the game of basketball. He was the only person during his time to have that many black players on his basketball team at that time. After him, other teams started to recruit blacks because they believed they were good players.

Another example of thinking different is Atticus Finch from the book "To Kill a Mockingbird". He was a man that defended a black man in court when no one else was going to. Just like Don Haskins, he did not look at the color of skin and believed everyone deserved equal rights.
