During the spring she went out for track and shot put, and ran the 100-meter for her last meet. She was slow, it was awkward, but she did it.<br>That was the picture when BFS first caught up with Christi five years ago. Sh was a determined girl fighting the odds, but no one knew if she would make it. Catching up with her now, just beginning her senior year, we re proud to see her spirit still pushing her on the athletic field and to learn she is not only fully recovered from the accident, but stronger for the effort.<br><br>Btter Than Eer<br><br>In the summer, only a year afer her accident, Christi began running well.  I was doing everything, she says.  If a normal person saw me they couldn t tell anything happened. I was playing volleyball, basketball, track and gymnastics.<br> The doctors actually say my back is stronger because of the bone they took from my hip to fuse my spine. I have no side effects, none. It s amazing. Sometimes I forget the whole accident happened. <br>Pressed on the subject, she admits to some weakness in the right leg.  I need to compensate with the left, she says,  but I m working on fixing that in the run. It doesn t stop me, but it is a technical point I need to work on. <br>Christi attained her present height and weight of 5-foot-3 and 130 pounds early, and gymnastics gave way to track and the pole vault. She began working at Wichita Extreme Athletics with brothers Randy and Darrin Bryant. The center works with dance, tumbling and cheerleading, but because both brohers vaulted in high school, they also coached vaulters. Randy has been to two Olympics and coached in Australia and Mexico. The two trainelieve the way these people have been treated. The inmate leader reached out to comfort this crying co-inmate and laid his hand on his shoulder and noticed a tattoo: KKK.<br>The feelings of the inmates who did the work were expressed in a letter sent in 1997. Forty-seven inmates signed the following letter:  We anxiously await the completion of this database and hope that people everywhere will use it to search out their ancestors. For most do not realize what it is like to be in bondage. Again, we are thankful for being allowed to serve on this project and do so in the memory of our God, our freedom, our peace, our wives, our children and our ancestors. <br>William Alex Haley concluded,  It is a lot of responsibility. When Roots first came out, I had to change my behavior. I had a family reputation to be aware of. Places I would have gone before without thinking about I began to think about. I thought,  This won t look good for my family if I do this so it reined me in. It reined my children in. Knowing who you are and what responsibility you have towards your family forces your behavior to be consistent with your family values. It passes right down across generations. <br><br>WHO ARE <br>AFRICAN-AMERICANS?<br><br>Joyce King, an African-American who writes for USA Today said,  We are not  niggers. It is not, in fact, OK for anyone - black or white - to use that filthy word or to ignore its meaning. This was in response to a question often asked by whites why it is OK for black people to call each other  nigger as an affectionate term or use the term behind closed doors. <br> Nigger is a gu
