Black Fives

1 week ago

For years, we have been building something truly remarkable.Something deeper than what’s visible on the surface.This piece, created by the Gee’s Bend Quilters Collective from remnants of our Black Fives throwback jerseys, carries that idea.On the front, you see something beautiful.On the back, you see the work.Tens of thousands of stitches.Each one holding the whole together.Like the earlier African American basketball pioneers whose names were forgotten, but whose work helped shape the game.Like the countless people, often unseen, who did and are doing the work that holds our country together.The surface only exists because of what’s behind it.And it’s only as strong as the weakest stitch.Do we really want to remove certain stitches?Are we OK with pieces falling apart?Do we value the work we don’t see?Do we recognize it?Do we protect it?That’s the real story.A cultural archive. A sports heritage platform.Build with us.Make History Now.#culturalheritage #intellectualproperty #archives #sportsbusiness #blackhistory ... See MoreSee Less
