Eugene Chung, a former NFL offensive lineman and assistant coach, was told that he was “not the right minority” — a remark that “emotionally paralyzed” him. What happened: Chung, who is Korean American, recalled the surprising comment to The Boston Globe. While he was being interviewed for an NFL coaching position this off-season, the 51-year-old was sharing his achievements — which include 10 years of coaching experience and five seasons as an offensive tackle — when one interviewer stopped him and said, “Well, you’re really not a minority.”

In honor of National Military Appreciation Month this May, Bojangles is introducing an exclusive, camo-themed Big Bo Box in partnership with Folds of Honor, a not-for-profit organization that provides educational scholarships to families of fallen or wounded soldiers.
With every camo-themed box sold, Bojangles will donate $1 to Folds of Honor, up to $750,000. This partnership will keep dollars raised local, meaning Tennessee families will see a direct impact.
Now, families can enjoy their favorite Big Bo Box meals packaged in an eye-catching – or should we say invisible – camouflaged box while supporting an organization that champions our military heroes. Since 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded over 29,000 academic scholarships totaling $145 million. Among the students served, 41 percent are minorities. Fans will notice the Folds of Honor logo printed on each box.
State leaders awarded three police officers and an Oklahoma National Guardsman for their efforts and putting their lives on the line to keep Oklahomans safe.
