Being a Show Chairman is a big job, and in many ways is reminiscent of trying to herd cats in order to put on a dog show. Heading up a group of volunteers is tough enough–getting them to all work together to produce a large event with contracts, venue, parking, motorhomes, vendors, stewards, judges, superintendents, AKC, and of course exhibitors all needing various levels of attention at various stages of the months-long process is a huge undertaking.

He’s very willing to discuss the subject. “It’s all about visibility,” he says. “Others have said that black people excel in sports that don’t require money, but that’s not right. A lot of blacks are middle class, upper middle class, or even millionaires.” However, if you don’t see other minorities in a sport, it may not occur to you that you could succeed in it yourself. Woodfork points to other sports that had been traditionally dominated by whites—before the Williams sisters, you didn’t see African-American women in tennis, and before Tiger Woods, you seldom saw a black professional golfer.
