King, Deanna, ed. "Local connections to Ernie Davis." News10NBC. 12 Oct. 2008. 25 Nov. 2008 . This helped me because I never knew that his trophy was stolen. It saddens me that someone would do something like that. It lets me now that some people weren't to happy with the decision of Ernie Davis winning the Heisman Trophy.

I really loved this website, because it tells you the facts that are really fictionalized in the movie "The Express". For Example In Reel Life: Still, it's not easy to convince Davis to choose Syracuse. So Schwartzwalder convinces Brown, who's already starring in the pros for Cleveland, to take a trip with him to Elmira and tell Ernie how good a choice Syracuse will be. During the trip, the two walk together for a while, and they arrive at a football field. Just by chance, Brown finds two lacrosse sticks and a ball, and teaches Ernie how to throw and catch, while also telling him a little lacrosse history. He also touts Schwartzwalder's coaching acumen. In Real Life: It's a nice scene, and a wonderful nod to Brown's lacrosse prowess. The scene is accurate, in the sense that Brown did go along with Schwartzwalder one day to try to sway his college decision. But during the trip, Brown was swarmed by autograph seekers and was unable to spend any time alone with Davis. Surrounded by a crowd, all Brown could manage was to put his arm around Davis and say, "Go to Syracuse." No lacrosse. No long walk-and-talk. No talk about the coach. Three words: "Go to Syracuse."

This website was helpful because it got me in the mind state of living in the 1960's, the life Ernie Davis lived.

This book really helped me. I liked how it told me about his career in Syracuse. It gave me insight about what he did, and how much he really enjoyed playing football. It also gave me a mini biography of his life. I also loved that fact that I found a book on him because books are some what a better source then a website.

This shows a picture of the Ernie Davis Middle School. This shows that the city had a lot of respect and praise for Ernie Davis to make a school named after him.

This book helped me a tad bit. It told me about the other African American winners of the Heisman Trophy which were Mike Garrett, O.J. Simpson, Archie Griffin, Tony Dorsett, Billy Sims, and Charles White. It shows me that they were now more open to give the heisman trophy to other African Americans after it was given to Ernie Davis.
