Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Named U.S. Cultural Ambassador

I think this is great:
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is about to embark on something possibly more far-reaching than even his legendary skyhook.
The U.S. State Department has announced that the NBA’s all-time leading scorer has been enlisted to serve as a global cultural ambassador and help with diplomatic efforts. That begins Sunday, Jan. 22, when Abdul-Jabbar plans to travel to Brazil to speak on a number of events mostly centering on education.
How refreshing to see someone other than a white Christian male representing our country.
