Game Changer: John McLendon and the Secret Game

Once they piled into automobiles and drove by Durham, North Carolina, the members of the Duke College Medical Faculty basketball staff solely knew that they have been going someplace to play basketball. They did not know whom they’d play in opposition to. However once they got here head to head with their opponents, they rapidly realized this secret recreation was going to make historical past.
Uncover the true story of how in 1944, Coach John McLendon orchestrated a secret recreation between the most effective gamers from a white faculty and his staff from the North Carolina Faculty of Negroes. At a time of widespread segregation and rampant racism, this unlawful gathering modified the game of basketball eternally.

From the Writer

George Parks of the Eagles mentioned later that this recreation was “simply God’s kids horsing round with a basketball.”
