NOT GOOD ENOUGH, STILL NO EXCUSE!
When did the University of Louisville integrate their basketball team?
1962.
WHAT ABOUT THE 40s and 50s UOFLCARDS83!!! WHAT ABOUT 'EM!!!
Oh and then there's this gold from the Louisville.edu webpage:
quote:
What Whitehead didn’t know was that no other African American had ever played basketball for the Cardinals.
“I was totally surprised. I knew there had been some great African American football players at U of L like Lenny Lyles and Ernie Green. I just assumed that basketball was the same.”
Whitehead had committed to U of L before he realized the basketball program’s history. More disturbingly, he was told of a statement made somewhere in the program’s past that said “blacks weren’t good enough to play for the team.”
