BRAD PYE’S BOOK FOREWORD BY LEROY VAUGHN, MD, MBA, Historian

BRAD PYE’S BOOK FOREWORD 

BY LEROYVAUGHN, MD

        I was quite honored when Brad Pye Jr. asked me to write the foreword to his outstanding autobiographical book considering all the very distinguished people he could have chosen. Brad has uplifted the lives of thousands of people during his 60 plus years in Los Angeles and several of those deeds are outlined in this work. I am sure his toughest job was choosing which appreciation letters, tributes, and award documents to include in this outstanding compilation.

When I was recently asked who the real American heroes were, I answered that I most admired people who had dedicated their lives toward uplifting the lives of their fellow man and especially people less fortunate than themselves. In fact, I am in awe of people who have helped disenfranchised, bright, gifted, deserving, needy African Americans break through racial barriers and injustices. This esteemed group includes people like John Brown and Marcus Garvey. Brad Pye in my eyes has spent no less energy trying to help others.

John Brown dedicated his life toward the emancipation of all slaves. He actively campaigned to establish African American schools and helped Oberlin College to open its doors to “Negroes” in 1839. John Brown volunteered to personally teach Black farmers in New York how to clean up and plant farmland that he had convinced a wealthy New York landowner to donate. When slavery appeared to have no end, John Brown died trying to steal enough weapons to allow slaves to fight for their own freedom.

Marcus Garvey founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Harlem in 1918. His vision was to organize the Black race through race pride, education, self-reliance, and economic development. Garvey attempted to promote race pride by stressing the importance of the historical accomplishments of people of African descent. He said “we were once masters in art, science, and literature”, and “whatsoever a Black man has done a Black man can do.” Self-reliance and economic development was Garvey’s second major theme. His ultimate objective was to manufacture every marketable commodity and to establish factories that could employ and train thousands of Black workers. Although Marcus Garvey did not achieve all his goals, his spirit fortunately lives though the millions of people he has inspired and uplifted. I am convinced part of that spirit reached Brad Pye Jr.

Brad Pye Jr.’s humble beginning started in Plain Dealing, Louisiana. In 1943 at the age of 12, he convinced a person driving to Los Angeles to allow him to ride along for $5. His loving mother steered him toward friends and joined him six years later. Brad parlayed this non air-conditioned journey into a magnificent career as an award winning manager and sports editor of the Los Angeles Sentinel newspaper and as the sports director of multiple radio stations for many years including KGFJ, KJLH, KACE, and KDAY.

Brad’s outstanding sports journalism career provided him the opportunity to obtain a lofty civic stature and to befriend numerous sport owners and upper management personnel. He used those inroads to increase awareness of racial injustices and inequalities and to promote opportunities for qualified African Americans in numerous endeavors. For over 50 years Brad used his influence and “insider” leverage to help break racial barriers in every major sport including football, baseball, boxing, and track and field. Brad was there when Aaron Wade became the first African American to be named an American Football league (AFL) official and when Eldridge Dickey became the first Black American quarterback drafted into the NFL. As a good friend, recruiter, and “Administrative Assistant” to Oakland Raider owner Al Davis, Brad encouraged the first aggressive football recruiting from historically Black colleges. This foresight helped the Raiders win 3 Super bowl championships. It is also no coincidence that Al Davis hired Art Shell as the first Black American head football coach in the NFL.

In professional baseball, Brad also worked tirelessly to promote Black “firsts”. He and others wrote numerous letters and met personally with the late Dodger owner Walter O’Malley. Eventually, Emmet Ashford became the first African American umpire called up to the Major league. Brad and others like Wendell Smith of the Pittsburgh Courier newspaper also helped promote the acceptance of major league baseball stars like Sam Lacey and Jackie Robinson who became his very close friend.

Although Brad is well known for promoting prep athletes at major southern California universities like UCLA and USC, he is just as recognized for obtaining press box accommodations for Black journalists in Southern California. Black journalists are now a staple in the press boxes of the Dodgers, Lakers and all other major sporting events.

Brad Pye Jr.’s great career also touched the lives of numerous non athletes. Among those who thank him and sing his praises include the late Attorney Johnnie Cochran who thanked him for 30 years of friendship and promotion long before the national media “discovered” him. Personally, my story is not unlike Attorney Cochran. When I told Brad that I had difficulty establishing my private practice as the only Black Retinal specialist on the West Coast, he told me not to worry. He subsequently published my resume in the Los Angeles Sentinel newspaper and appointed me to the State Boxing Commission and the State Athletic Commission. To demonstrate his trust, he even sent his mother to me shortly thereafter when she developed a retinal detachment. I cherish our 30 year friendship.

I am confident that after reading this autobiographic collection of letters, tributes, and awards, the reader will be amazed at what one man can accomplish for his fellow man when intensely motivated. Perhaps this book can inspire the reader to also help others.

LEROY W. VAUGHN, MD, MBA, Historian

Dr. Vaughn's book BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY opens with a review by Brad Pye, Jr. 

Crack - How Not To Let Another Dr. King or Malcolm X Through

It's long been noted that during the era of Iran Contra, the best and brightest were targeted for crack addiction. Recent media cries about how Whitney Houston wasted her life reach a rage in folks who thought they had forgiven and moved on from. Whitney Houston, Richard Pryor and so many others were clearly targeted and drained.

So I asked a question to Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA, Historian, Humanitarian, Honorary Nigerian African Chief and author of the dynamic Black history book BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY.  His response, though rooting, chilled me to the bone.

'I've heard that J. Edgar Hoover did not want another Dr. Martin Luther King or Malcolm X to get through. Given the recent death of Whitney Houston, maybe now we can talk about this taboo topic - what was the impact of Iran Contra crack on the Black American community?'

Dr. Vaughn:  "Iran Contra did not happen until 1986.  They supposedly used money from selling arms to Iran to fund a war in Nicaragua which eventually overthrew the government.

The drugs entered the Black community in the late 1960’s to stop the Civil Rights movement.  First heroin and then other drugs were heavily supplied in the Black community.  Vietnam and the Far East supplied most of the drugs.  Afghan drugs (heroin) are now used in addition to cocaine from South America.

I think it is well documented that the USA controls most of the world’s drugs and supposedly uses the money to fight the war on terror. 

However, the drugs also serve as a giant sedative on the Black and activists communities.”

For more of Dr. Vaughn's powerful historic insight, the kind we can use to NOT repeat the lessons of the past, Los Angeles journalist Brad Pye, Jr. advises:

‘If you really want to know about Black People And Their Place In World History then you should rush out and obtain a copy of Dr. Vaughn’s masterpiece before the sun goes down."

Foreward By Brad Pye, Jr. Black People..., Vaughn

From the book that is causing change in people's lives, BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY, by Dr. Leroy Vaughn, Foreward by Brad Pye, Jr.

"Leroy William Vaughn M.D., M.B.A. is not only one of the world’s renowned ophthalmologists, but also one of the leading authorities on Black history.  Basketball is Michael Jordan’s game.  Black history and ophthalmology are Dr. Vaughn’s games.  Dr. Vaughn’s medical credentials and expertise as a diabetic eye specialist and as a remarkable surgeon make him one of the leading practitioners in his field.  His knowledge as an historian is equally as outstanding.

 Dr. Leroy Vaughn

MD, MBA, Historian, Humanitarian

Honorary Nigerian, African Chief

Dr. Vaughn’s patients swear by him for his medical skills.  Historians marvel at him because of his talents as a researcher and writer on the subject of Black history.  As a lecturer, he’s one of the most in-demand speakers in the nation.  Like magic, Dr. Vaughn can rattle off facts on Black history like an orator recites a speech he has practiced on delivering for days.  When it comes to reciting the roles Black people have played in world history, Dr. Vaughn has dazzled some of the most learned minds in America.

Confirmation of this fact can be found on the pages of this in-depth study on the subject.  For instance, did you know that a Black man with only a sixth grade education named Garrett Morgan invented the first traffic signal, the gas mask, and marketed the G. A. Morgan Refining Cream, which was the first hair straightening product?  Did you know that Garrett Morgan made so much money from his hair cream that he was able to purchase an automobile? In fact, traffic congestion while driving his new car was motivation for Morgan’s traffic signal invention.

Did you know that in 1721 an African slave named Onesimus taught his “master” the age-old African technique for smallpox inoculation in which a pustule from an infected person was ruptured with a thorn and then used to puncture the skin of a normal person?  Did anyone ever tell you that the original Haitians were called the Arawaks or Tainos before Christopher Columbus and that they were very generous and could swim long distances?  Did you know that George Franklin Grant, a Black man, invented the golf tee in 1898 and patented it a year later?  Grant, one of the first two African American graduates of the Harvard Dental School, took a liking to golf.  He invented the golf tee because he didn’t like the way golfers had to mix dirt and water to make a mud mound for teeing off.  Did anyone ever tell you that a Black man named John Lee Love invented the Love Pencil Sharpener in 1897, the kind most first-graders take to school today?

Did anyone ever tell you that Dr. Charles Richard Drew was the discoverer of successful blood plasma storage techniques that made blood banks possible?  In 1941, the American Red Cross appointed Dr. Drew as the director of its first blood bank.  Did anyone ever tell you that the collective contributions of Black Americans to science is so extensive that it is not possible to live a full day in any part of the United States, or the world for that matter, without sharing in the benefits of their contributions in such fields as: biology, chemistry, physics, space and nuclear science?  Well, if you didn’t know these things, then keep on reading, and Dr. Vaughn will tell you about these and hundreds of other facts about Black history.

Other inventions patented by African Americans include the folding lawn chair, the doorstop, the ironing board with collapsible legs, and the bottle cap.  In fact, there’s a long list of inventions made by Blacks during an age dominated by Whites.  If Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, and Elgin Baylor had been born in the 18^th or 19^th century, we would never have known their names because of the concerted effort not to acknowledge the accomplishments of Black people.

Dr. Vaughn didn’t just decide to write a book on Black history.  This has been his passion and his life’s mission!  Academically, Dr. Vaughn has the knowledge and the talents to make his life’s work a reality on the pages of this book.  Dr. Vaughn was rooted and grounded in Black history as a student at Morehouse College in Atlanta, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree and graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1969 after a two-year premedical study tour at the University of Vienna in Austria.  In addition to Dr. Vaughn, Morehouse College has produced some of the most prominent and learned scholars in the world including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., U.S. Surgeon General Dr.David Satcher, and Dr. Charles Finch.  Dr. Benjamin Mays, one of the world’s most noted educators and a mentor to Dr. King, was president of Morehouse College from 1950 until 1967, and set an extremely high standard for all Morehouse graduates.

Medically speaking, Dr. Vaughn is tops in his field.  He received his medical degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, where he also received the Franklin C. McClain Award in 1972 as the most outstanding Black medical student in the nation.  He interned at the Department of Medicine in Chapel Hill, NC, and completed his ophthalmology fellowship and research training at Harvard University’s Massachusetts Eye and Ear Hospital in 1979.  Dr. Vaughn was certified as a Diplomat of the American Board of Ophthalmology in 1978 after scoring in the top three percentile nationally on the written examination.  Moreover, he was named as an Associate Examiner for the American Board of Ophthalmology’s oral examinations in 1984.

In addition to a brilliant scholar, Dr. Vaughn is also a community leader.  For giving his time and his talents to the community, he was honored by the late Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, L.A. County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, the State of California, and the Aesculapian Honorary Society et al.

Dr. Vaughn’s book should not only be required reading for Blacks, but for all people.  Most of society still believes what historian Arnold Toynbee wrote in his 1934 history book: “It will be seen that when we classify mankind by color, the only primary race that has not made a creative contribution to any civilization is the Black race.”  Dr. Vaughn sets the record straight on this lie and on so many other untruths about Black history.

Vernon E. Jordan better known as a civil rights fighter, businessman, lawyer, and “first friend” of President Bill Clinton vividly illustrates the essence of Dr. Vaughn’s book when he wrote in his book entitled “Vernon Can Read! A Memoir:” “Black people have done wonderful things for this country (saved its soul, in fact), and we have been an example to the world in the process.  That should never be forgotten, even as we continue to press ahead, in our many and varied ways, toward our future.  If we did so much when we had so little, think of what we can do now that we have so much more.”

Covered in Dr. Vaughn’s book are the Ancient Period, AfterChrist, After 1492 (Columbus), After 1776 (Independence), After 1865 (slavery), and After 1900 (20^th Century).  If you really want to know about “Black People and Their Place in World History” then you should rush out and obtain a copy of Dr. Vaughn’s masterpiece before the sun goes down."
