OLYMPIAN DILLARD HAILED

BARCELONA: Harrison Dillard, who overcame racial prejudice to become the only man to achieve the Olympic double of 100 meter and 110m hurdles gold, and fought as a Buffalo Solider in World War II, was honored on Friday. Still in good health at the age of 89. Dillard won his first gold in 1948 and his second in 1952. Before that he formed part of the 92nd Infantry, the segregated “Buffalo Soliders”, made up solely of AfricanAmerican troops, fighting in the Italian campaign from 1943 to 1945.
