When I started graduate school we did this publishing class where we learned about submitting and read interviews with editors from different magazines. A lot of them said they got so many submissions that unless the first page stuck out or the first paragraph or even the first sentence they'll probably send it back.

People look at black pride in America and sport's impact on it. In the major cities it took off the first time Jackie Robinson stole home.
