Cameron Champ’s grandfather lived through Jim Crow laws. The KKK. Mack Champ told young Cameron there were places as a black man you couldn’t go by yourself.
Those difficult stories and the courage displayed by those who experienced them are a big part of Black History Month – and Cameron has placed that message next to his heart.
During the first and second rounds of the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club, Cameron unveiled a Nike shirt with a logo on the left side of the shirt depicting a young Mack following through on a shot. Cameron also wore one black shoe and one white shoe this week, with one of Mack’s favorite phrases adorned along the side – “It’s not where you come from, it’s where you’re going.”
