Coach Irvin Harris interviews Bishop Devin Park with Mel Jones and Peter Mingils. Co-hosts Pee Wee Harrison and Greg Budo Carradine will be listening in to catch up on a really great interview. Devin Park was inducted into the Delaware Afro American Sports Hall of Fame along with his twin brother Darin and 10 other people who have had a positive impact on the African American community through sports.
Here are the first few words of an article about Bishop Devin Park:
Devin and Darin Park were both first-team all-state basketball selections in 1981. They are the only two brothers in Delaware high school basketball history to be named to the first team in the same year.
Both men will be inducted into the Delaware Afro American Sports Hall of Fame during its annual banquet at 6 p.m., Saturday, April 15, at the Modern Maturity Center in Dover. The Park twins will be inducted alongside 10 other people who have positively impacted the lives of African Americans in Delaware through their participation in athletics.
Considering it to be his calling, Devin has used basketball to touch the lives of misguided youth, professional athletes and middle schoolers in the Cape community.
“To me, leadership is influence, and that can be good or bad,” Devin said.
Devin’s background is in education; he is a former teacher and principal. Growing up during the transition from segregation to integration, Devin learned at an early age not to treat people differently due to the color of their skin.
