 And I'm the best example of it in the world. Good got a pre-law degree at the University of Pittsburgh but couldn't afford law school. He worked jobs including juvenile probation officer before being hired in the circulation department of the Pittsburgh Courier, a nationally distributed black newspaper. His broadcast career began when a local radio station gave the Courier airtime. Good used the opportunity to campaign for social justice.
