Join us for discussion and personal accounts of African-American athletes who have made their mark on sports globally since the 1936 Berlin Olympics and Jesse Owens performance against the backdrop of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Many African-American athletes have more than just on field accomplishments such as Jackie Robinson, Elgin Baylor, 22 American Football League All-Stars in 1965, Bill Russell, Muhammad Ali, Curt Flood and many others took principled stands and helped change society.
