PETERSBURG \u2014 The MYcroSchool of Pinellas punctuated its recognition of Black History Month by hosting the viewing of the award-winning documentary \u201cThrough The Tunnel\u201d Wed., Feb 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The video highlights the legendary leadership of Coach Eddie Shannon and two-time Pro-Bowler Henry Lawrence of the Lincoln Memorial High Trojans, an all-black high school football team at the dawn of desegregation in Manatee County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for the young men to get from their high school to the football field, they literally walked through a concrete tunnel underneath a Manatee Highway. The visual of the tunnel in the documentary explodes with the symbolic significance of the Underground Railroad that represented the path to the light of freedom.<br>For the Trojans, what awaited them on the other side of the tunnel and desegregation was a world of unimaginable ugliness, valor and victory on the gridiron of southern integration. Anything worth doing comes with a price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\">Read the rest of the story in the Weekly Challenger &#8211;
