On Oct. 6, Stoughton High School, Richard's alma mater, will host a celebration from 12 to 2 p.m. This will be known as "Frederick Richard Day." The ceremony, free of charge, will consist of a rally and speeches from Richard, his family and community members. The gymnast will also be presented with a key to the town, and the school will establish an educational scholarship in his name.
I've grown up my whole life wishing there were some Black gymnasts dominating the sport on the men's side, that I can look up to, wishing that the sport was 20 times bigger. Now I have an opportunity to contribute to that and make that happen.
