He faced adversity with grace from "summary" of Strong Inside by Andrew Maraniss

Perry Wallace faced adversity with a remarkable sense of composure and dignity. Throughout his life, he encountered numerous challenges and obstacles, but he always handled them with grace. From his early days playing basketball in segregated gyms to his college years at Vanderbilt University, Wallace faced discrimination and prejudice with a quiet strength. Despite facing taunts and threats from opposing players and fans, Wallace never stooped to their level. Instead, he focused on his game and let his skill and determination speak for themselves. Even when faced with physical violence on the court, he refused to retaliate, choosing instead to rise above the hate and prejudice directed towards him. In the face of adversity, Wallace remained steadfast in his beliefs and principles. He never wavered in his commitment to equality and justice, even when it would have been easier to stay silent. His courage and resilience inspired others to stand up for what is right and to never back down in the face of injustice. Wallace's ability to handle adversity with grace is a testament to his character and strength of spirit. He faced every challenge with a quiet resolve and a firm belief in his own worth. His example serves as a reminder that it is possible to overcome even the toughest obstacles with grace and dignity.
