The first episode of our new Make History Now podcast is dedicated to basketball pioneer Earl Lloyd, the first African American to play in the NBA.
Episode 1: Remembering NBA Pioneer Earl Lloyd (1928-2015)
NBA pioneer and Hall of Fame member Earl Lloyd (left) with Claude Johnson, Founder & Executive Director of the Black Fives Foundation, at the Smithsonian Institution in 2011.
I recently visited the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. to check out a new exhibit there called The Scurlock Studio And Black Washington: Picturing The Promise.
