Justin Holland
FameRank: 6

"Justin Holland" was an American classical guitarist, a music teacher, a community leader, a black man who worked with white people to help slaves on the Underground Railroad, and an activist for equal rights for African Americans.

Holland was known nationally, not only as a musician, but also as a civil rights activist who worked in the same national circles as Frederick Douglass. His goal was to develop his personal growth, in order to stand as an example for others to see. As a teacher, he deliberately chose a "cautious and circumspect" bearing, keeping his relationships with students strictly professional. He chose work that was considered honorable and held high standards, and the professional respect that accompanied his position aided his civil rights goals.

A measure of his success in showcasing the admirable African American to the world came after he died, when he was given eulogies, by white people as well as African Americans, about his skill as a musician and his personal character.

Right now, I hope it's out of everybody's mind, except when they do these interviews.

The last drive, to me, I can see it better on film than I can see it as a memory. My memory is a blur for everything except the last play.

I know Dave can make a play if we need one. That's why we like to put him in position to get open in big situations. If you go to him, you know he's going to give you everything he's got to make the play.

Every time I think about football, I think about that game.

Fifty-fifty is exactly where we want to be.

It was not knowing the situation. It could have been handled a lot better.

He's got a hell of a leg and he's hurt us the last couple years.

We don't have guys on this team that are like that, that are going to call guys out. We love each other. These are the closest friends I have.

It was a game I wanted to win so badly and we had the opportunity to win.
