From Jackie Robinson to Aaron Rodgers; from the Olympics to the Super Bowl: Community College athletes over the decades have risen to amazing heights otherwise unlikely without the bridge experience of the Community College. Stirring examples abound and are retailed in Bridging the Gap. The stories rise from the Olympics since 1936; from John Wooden's UCLA basketball dynasty; from Major League baseball, NBA basketball and NFL football. They involve Hall-of-Fame performers and ordinary people. They personify a system within the general framework of society that continues to propel the disenfranchised from all races and both genders across the yawning chasm from a dark nowhere of limited prospects to a luminous somewhere of potential redeemed.
