You mean Michael Steele...but point well taken.
Other notables include Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Jesse Lee Peterson, Star Parker, Alan Keyes, J.C. Watts, Larry Elder, Kenneth Blackwell, Mychal Thompson (yes, the basketball player), and many others who are not quite so well known (like others on this thread and me). May there be many more.
And I'd add David Robinson, as both an athlete AND a scholar! He graduated from the US Naval Academy with a degree in math!
