The Heart Of Football Beats In Aliquippa: Over five decades of economic decline and racial conflict, a Western Pennsylvania mill town has found unity and hope on the football field.
I have grown up 10 min down the road frm aliquippa and most of my family is still in the Italian section of Quip. Living there is a fight everyday for survival in a world of drugs and guns, but still somehow, this tiny town has produces so many NFL greats. Law, Dorsett, Ditka, Revis, Gilbert and more on the way...
(my family is from Sharon, just north of Quip)
