As new depositors to Freedman s Bank, 70,000 African-Americans had to establish their identities as part of the appliction process. This was no small task. <br>In creating their identity, they listed their families and sometimes gave brief oral histories. For example, Charles Miller Coleman stated,  Have not seen parents in 35 years. Brothers Ben and Jack and Aleck and Moses (dead) and Robert and William. Sister Susan. Family all left in Va. But Aleck who was sold away first. <br>Gray became emotional as he read these oral histories.  It is hard not to when you see a comment such as,  I never knew parents, was sold away, don t know where brothers and sisters are, because I was sold away first. On the other hand, it lets you know how important family was because even in the hostile environment of slavery, people struggled to keep track of each other. They worked at it, they kept track of one another. <br>Elder D. Todd Christofferson from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints headed this ambitious Freedman s Bank project. He said that requests for CD s have now reached over 30,000. Most requests are from the black community. Elder Christofferson said,  The joy and gratitude they express has been overwhelming to me. We have had people literally weep on the phone as they ordered the CD. The gratitude has been astonishing.<br> There is a desperate, deep desire on the part of all of us to know where we came from, where we all fit in our places and in our heritage. There is some comfort in a commitment to be better, knowing that the sacrifices of the past are responsible for our positions in the present. <br>An inmate leader said,  When we started this project, I had no idea the impact the Freedman s Banrgy and strength to do what as to be done; the energy that moves your teammates beyond ordinary to extraordinary performances. It s where the superhuman, unbelievable efforts emanate from. <br>Engaging in the BFS Program everyday, working hard, encouraging your teammates to do their best, that s discipline. Challenging yourself to break eight or more records a week makes you rise to the occasion on a regular basis. Everyday the BFS athlete has to reach down and find the inner strength to break his record, raise the bar, to do more than he has ever done before. His teammates encourage him. They do it together. Weeks and months later when the team is challenged to come from behind, they respond in a positive way because they have trained themselves for this occasion. <br>Winning on the fields of play is a natural extension of winning everyday in the weightroom. Their efforts are labeled superhuman, unbelievable or extraordinary because ordinary people are not willing to work that hard, dedicate that much r commit to that extent. So the mere mortals marvel at what winners accomplish. <br>Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average down. Ordinary people do ordinary things. Championships are won by those who are willing to do the extra things to become extraordinary. Like Kramer says, BFS athletes have t
