"Some people are embarrassed to say they came……" — Jackie Joyner-Kersee

"Some people are embarrassed to say they came from East St. Louis, Ill., but now more people want to claim it. I grew up in a community center and I knew what it gave me. I always knew I wanted to give back and help people because people helped me."
