Richard E. Lapchick is a human rights activist, pioneer for racial equality, internationally recognized expert on sports issues, scholar and author. He is the son of Joe Lapchick, the original Celtic center who became a coach for St. John's and the New York Knicks. Lapchick is married to Ann Pasnak, his second wife, by whom he has one daughter, Emily. By his first wife, Sandy Miller, he has two children and four grandchildren. 〔Richard Lapchick, Biography, (http://www.ncasports.org/about/staff-bios/bio-richard-lapchick.shtml) accessed November 12, 2009.〕 == The early years == Lapchick’s life passion was sparked in Germany at the age of 14 while touring the Nazi internment camps of Dachau. Coincidentally, he was in Europe during the 1960 Summer Olympic Games and discovered the tremendous impact sport has to cross all lines, color, creed and religion. Thus, his dream to use sport as a vehicle for social change was born. It reinforced his early experiences witnessing public hostility toward his father when, as the Coach of the New York Knicks, he signed Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton, the first African-American player signed in the NBA in 1950.〔Richard Lapchick, Smashing Barriers, (Lanham, MD: Madison Books, 2001), 103-4.〕 His earliest memory as a five-year-old was seeing an image of his father swinging from a tree across the street from his house where people were picketing against the inclusion of a black athlete in a "white" team.
