Mariam hosts a roundtable discussion with librarians Brenna and Heather about the 1964 March on Frankfort. On March 5, 1964, Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball player Jackie Robinson, and band Peter, Paul and Mary participated in a march from Louisville to Frankfort to advocate for the passage of a bill to end segregated public accommodations in Kentucky. This bill was eventually passed in 1966, but previous to that time, a pivotal moment in Kentucky Civil Rights history was several Black NBA players, including Bill Russell, were not allowed accommodation in the Phoenix Hotel because of their race.  Producer Erin briefly joins the conversation when the talks move into how the March, and many aspects of Kentucky history, including Civil Rights, are not taught in Kentucky schools, and how surprised Heather, Mariam and Erin were to discover the March had happened only as adults. There is no known transcription of the speeches given at the March on Frankfort, but the Library does have a digitized copy of the program available in the Digital Archive. Brenna makes many recommendations for further learning on this topic, including oral histories, in the episode.

The original Bad Boy of Detroit Pistons is opening up and talking everything from his relationship with Magic Johnson to Detroit Pistons changing the game to sharing his side of the infamous Michael Jordan feud. Isiah starts the show saying very simply that he is going to state facts and you can't argue facts and that it's one thing to win a championship in the NBA but it's another to win a championship at every level ever played. Growing up on the West Side of Chicago, Isiah shares how his upbringing was shaped by his mother's guidance and a family first mentality where his mother cared more about the type of man he'd become vs the money and opportunity being offered. His mom's influence was so great, it became her decision where he played college basketball and also who he played for. The West Side of Chicago is home to many activists and organizations such as Fred Hampton, Martin Luther King Jr, and The Black Panther Party. Isiah grew up in this environment and recalls marching alongside his mother with Dr.King. Spearheading change at the national level, Isiah used his local groundwork in Detroit to advocate for Black journalists covering the team, more rights for Black NBA players leaving a greater impact with his legacy not just on the court but in culture. Isiah makes his case known for why so many people overlook Detroit Pistons as transcending the NBA and shares what the team really did for the league and how they were the firsts to do many things back then setting the example of how teams should be and move. Known for his historic rivalry with Michael Jordan, Ryan asks what were his thoughts on the way his character was portrayed by Jordan in The Last Dance. Isiah provides The Pivot with an exclusive inside look to his true relationship with MJ and goes on to say that he always looked out for Michael and that their families were even close. He also speaks about how rules within the NBA were changed to protect Michael Jordan. Isaih doesn't hold back as he shares his thoughts on while he was deemed the a-hole of the NBA when in fact he was the nice guy. Lastly, Isiah lets the guys in on the history of his and Magic's close relationship and what led up to their legendary interview. He gives credit to the current legends playing the game such as Lebron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant, and says they've transformed the game in a way we may never see again.

“There's a basic insecurity with Black guys my size,” Scott writes. “We can't hide and everybody turns to stare when we walk down the street. … Whites believe that their culture is superior to African-American culture. ... We don't accept many of [their] answers, but we have to live with them.” Ray Scott was part of the early wave of Black NBA players like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and later Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who literally changed how the game of professional basketball is played—leading to the tremendously popular financial blockbuster the NBA is today. Scott was a celebrated 6'9” forward/center after being chosen by the Detroit Pistons as the #4 pick of the 1961 NBA draft, and then again after he was named head coach of the Pistons in October 1972, winning Coach of the Year in the spring of 1974—the first black man ever to capture that honor. Scott's is a story of quiet persistence, hard work, and, most of all, respect. He credits the mentorship of NBA player and coach Earl Lloyd, and talks about fellow Philly native Wilt Chamberlain and friends Muhammad Ali and Aretha Franklin, among many others. Ray has lived through one of the most turbulent times in our nation's history, especially the time of assassinations of so many Black leaders at the end of the 1960s. Through it all, his voice remains quiet and measured, transcending all the sorrows with his steadiness and positive attitude. The NBA in Black and White: The Memoir of a Trailblazing NBA Player and Coach (Seven Stories Press, 2022) is his story, told in collaboration with the great basketball writer, former college player and CBA coach Charley Rosen. Paul Knepper covered the Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book, The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All was published in 2020.

Wade. In a special session Saturday, the State Senate passed Senate Bill 1, which bans abortions from the moment of conception. The bill classifies abortion as a felony, although it makes exceptions for rape and incest, and to protect the life of the mother. The bill also empowers the state attorney general to prosecute abortion cases at a county level if a county prosecutor categorically refuses to prosecute abortions. The bill narrowly passed the Senate, 26-20. The bill prohibits all abortions, with few exceptions. First, an abortion is legal if “[t]he physician determines, based on reasonable medical judgment, that an abortion is necessary to prevent a substantial permanent impairment of the life of the pregnant woman.” If a pregnant woman is less than 16 years old, an abortion is legal if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest, and the gestational age of the unborn child is less than 12 weeks. If a pregnant woman is at least 16, an abortion is legal if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest, and if the unborn child is less than eight weeks old. In both cases, the pregnant woman must provide the physician “with a notarized affidavit, signed by the woman under penalties of perjury, attesting to the rape or incest. The physician shall place the affidavit in the woman’s permanent health record,” the bill states. The bill also provides an exception in cases “where the fetus suffers from an irremediable medical condition that is incompatible with sustained life outside the womb, regardless of when the child is born.” For abortions covered under these exceptions, an abortion is only lawful if it is performed by a licensed doctor, at a hospital or a surgical center; if the abortion is performed by an abortifacient drug, the patient must take the drug in the presence of the physician, who must perform an exam and inform the patient about the drug. The woman must consent to the abortion, unless the abortion is for the life of the mother. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 26-20; 26 Republicans voted for the bill, while 10 Republicans joined Democrats voting against it. According to the Indianapolis Star, opposition to the bill was split: moderates voted against the bill because they thought it went too far; more conservative senators voted against the bill because it did not go far enough. Hey some other positive pro-life news: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/07/30/west-virginia-lawmakers-advance-strict-abortion-bill-wake-roe-reversal/ West Virginia Lawmakers Advance Strict Abortion Bill in Wake of Roe Reversal House Delegates in West Virginia have advanced a bill to the state Senate that puts restrictions on abortion in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade’s federal protection of the procedure. House Bill 302 is slated to be taken up in the upper chamber as early as Friday, according to the West Virginia Metro News: House Bill 302 encompasses a range of abortion policies, eliminating any period after conception for a choice to end pregnancy. In recent years, West Virginia law had allowed abortion up to 22 weeks of gestation. The bill maintains criminal penalties of three to 10 years of incarceration for medical providers who perform abortions — the main provision of a law from the 1800s that had been inactive while Roe was observed — but specifies that the pregnant woman would not be charged. The bill allows exceptions for a nonmedically viable fetus, an ectopic pregnancy, which is when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus, or a medical emergency, which is defined as a condition that requires an immediate abortion to avert the patient’s death or to avoid serious risk of damage to a major bodily function. The bill specifies several things that are not considered an abortion: a miscarriage, a stillbirth, use of established cell lines derived from aborted human embryos, treatment by a licensed medical provider that accidentally terminates or severely injures the fetus and in vitro fertilization. https://thefederalist.com/2022/07/29/pay-attention-to-the-dutch-farmer-protests-because-america-is-next/ Pay Attention To The Dutch Farmer Protests Because America Is Next Americans should start paying closer attention to the ongoing farmer protests in the Netherlands, which this week transformed long swaths of Dutch highways into what looked like a post-apocalyptic warzone: roadside fires raging out of control, manure and farming detritus heaped across highways, traffic stalled for miles, and massive protests across the country in support of the farmers. Why is the Netherlands, of all places, experiencing such unrest? Americans need to understand what’s happening over there because the ruinous climate policies that triggered these protests are precisely what President Joe Biden and the Democrats have in mind for the United States. Specifically, Dutch farmers are protesting a government plan to cut fertilizer use and reduce livestock numbers so drastically that it will force many farms out of business. Earlier this month, farmers used tractors and trucks to block highways and entrances to food distribution centers across the country, saying their livelihood and way of life are being targeted by the government. And they more or less are. The ruling coalition government claims its radical plan, pushed by Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who branded the protests “unacceptable,” is part of an “unavoidable transition” to improve air, land, and water quality. The goal is to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia, which are produced by livestock but which the government is labeling “pollutants,” by 50 percent nationwide by the year 2030. The only way to do that, many Dutch farmers say, is to slaughter the vast majority of their livestock and shutter their farms. The government knows this and admitted as much earlier this year, saying in a statement, “The honest message … is that not all farmers can continue their business,” and that farmers have three options: “Becoming more sustainable, relocating or ending their business.” Last year, Rutte spoke to the World Economic Forum about “transforming food systems and land use” at Davos Agenda Week, announcing that the Netherlands would host something called the “Global Coordinating Secretariat of the World Economic Food Innovation Hubs,” whose job would be to “connect all other food innovation hubs.” In Davos-speak, that means agricultural production and the supply of food will be centrally controlled by intra-governmental bodies and “stakeholders” consisting mainly of the world’s largest food corporations and international NGOs. Private farms and independent farmers will be a thing of the past, supplanted by global bodies making decisions about how much and what kinds of food are produced. The private sector and the independent farmers will have no place in the future that the UN and the WEF are planning. Dutch farmers understand this. They know Rutte and his ministers want above all to eradicate their farms and way of life. But they’re not going down without a fight. All of which brings us back to the U.S. This week news broke that congressional Democrats had finally reached a deal on the largest piece of climate legislation in American history. The bill is a tax-and-spend cornucopia of some $369 billion for wind, solar, geothermal, battery, and other industries over the next decade, along with generous subsidies for electric vehicles and incentives to keep nuclear plants open and capture emissions from industrial plants. After pretending to oppose Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s climate legislation, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin relented this week, clearing the way for the bill to proceed. Senate Democrats say the bill will allow the U.S. to cut greenhouse emissions by 40 percent below 2005 levels by 2030 — matching up nicely with the UN’s “Agenda 2030.” Understand that the Senate bill isn’t the end, it’s the beginning. Climate activists and ideologues are working at the highest levels to transform not just the global food supply, but the nature of private property and property rights, all in the name of saving the planet. What Rutte and his government are doing to Dutch farmers, Schumer and Biden are planning to do to American farmers and American industries. So pay attention to the roadside fires and blocked highways and mass civic unrest in places like the Netherlands and Sri Lanka. America is next.

The Yuma Morelos Dam Project will close four gaps located within an "incomplete border barrier project" near the dam, the Department of Homeland Security said in a news release. In addition to posing "safety and life hazard risks for migrants," the department said the gaps in the wall presented "life and safety" risks to first responders in the area. Upon taking office, President Joe Biden called for a review of ongoing border wall projects and rescinded the national emergency declaration authorized by his predecessor that allowed then-President Donald Trump to dip into additional funds to build his signature border wall. But DHS said in December it planned to close small gaps in the US-Mexico border wall and make adjustments to prevent flooding and complete prior construction of access roads. Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, who is facing a tough reelection this fall, praised the decision to close the wall gaps. He said in a statement that he first pressed the President to approve the gap closures in December and has had "numerous calls" with the White House and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The Biden administration has been criticized by allies and critics alike over its management of the US southern border. The administration has struggled to handle an influx of migrants coming to the border and lawsuits and infighting have stalled policy changes, which has resulted in more of the same Trump immigration policies. The Supreme Court earlier this month declined to freeze a lower court order that blocked DHS from implementing new immigration enforcement priorities. The court's 5-4 order was a loss for the Biden administration, which is trying to return to Obama-era policies that limit immigration arrests in order to focus on security risks instead of the more aggressive approach taken under the Trump administration. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/nba-legend-bill-russell-dead-at-88 NBA legend Bill Russell dead at 88 Bill Russell, one of the greatest basketball players of all time who led the charge on and off the court, has died, his family announced Sunday. He was 88. Russell’s family said in a statement that he passed away "peacefully" with his wife by his side. It was unclear how Russell died. "It is with a very heavy heart we would like to pass along to all of Bill’s friends, fans & followers," the statement started. "Bill Russell, the most prolific winner in American sports history, passed away peacefully today at age 88, with his wife, Jeannie, by his side. Arrangements for his memorial service will be announced soon. "Bill’s two state championships in high school offered a glimmer of the incomparable run of pure team accomplishment to come: twice an NCAA champion; captain of a gold-medal winning US Olympic team; 11 times an NBA champion; and at the helm for two NBA championships as the first Black head coach of any North American professional sports team. "Along the way, Bill earned a string of individual awards that stands unprecedented as it went unmentioned by him. In 2009, the award for the NBA Finals most valuable player was renamed after two-time Hall of Famer as the "Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award." His family said that while his wins on the court were one thing, his accomplishments and his fight in the civil rights movement should also be remembered. "But for all the winning, Bill’s understanding of the struggle is what illuminated his life," the statement read. "From boycotting a 1961 exhibition game to unmask too-long-tolerated discrimination, to leading Mississippi’s first integrated basketball camp in the combustible wake of Medgar [Evers'] assassination, to decades of activism recognized by his receipt of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2010, Bill called out injustice with an unforgiving candor that he intended would disrupt the status quo, and with a powerful example that, though never his humble intention, will forever inspire teamwork, selflessness and thoughtful change. Russell was the No. 2 overall pick of the St. Louis Hawks in the 1956 draft. He was picked behind Si Green, who was chosen by the Rochester Royals, and in front of Jim Paxson Sr., who was selected by the Minneapolis Lakers. Russell would go on to score more points than both players combined. At San Francisco, Russell helped the Dons win two consecutive NCAA titles in 1955 and 1956. He also led Team USA to a gold medal at the 1956 Olympics. Russell was traded to the Hawks on draft day for Cliff Hagan and Ed Macauley. He would continue his dominance in the pros, leading Boston to 11 championships, including a run of eight straight. He led the NBA in rebounds five times and is only one of two players to record at least 50 rebounds in a game. Russell broke the coaching color barrier when he became the first Black NBA head coach in history in 1966. He coached Boston to two NBA championships. He would later coach the Seattle SuperSonics and Sacramento Kings. During his illustrious career, Russell was a 12-time All-star, 11-time NBA champion, five-time MVP and an 11-time All-NBA selection.

ABOUT RAY SCOTT AND THE NBA IN BLACK AND WHITEA memoir of hard lessons learned in the racially segregated and sometimes outright racist NBA of the early '60s by celebrated NBA player and first Black Coach of the Year, Ray Scott.Ray Scott was part of the early wave of Black NBA players like Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain who literally changed how the game of professional basketball is played, leading to the tremendously popular financial blockbuster the NBA is today. Scott was a successful 6'9" forward/center after being chosen by the Detroit Pistons as the #4 pick of the 1961 NBA draft, and then again after he was named head coach of the Pistons in 1972, winning Coach of the Year in the spring of 1974-the first Black man ever to capture that honor.Scott's is a story of quiet persistence, hard work, and, most of all, respect. He credits the mentorship of NBA player and coach Earl Lloyd and talks about fellow Philly native Wilt Chamberlain and friends Muhammad Ali and Aretha Franklin, among many others. Scott has lived through one of the most turbulent times in our nation's history, especially the time of assassinations of so many Black leaders at the end of the 1960s. Through it all, his voice has remained quiet and measured, transcending all the sorrows with steadiness. This is his story, told in collaboration with well-known basketball writer, former college player, and CBA coach Charley Rosen. Racism in the world of sports is still all over the news-from Brian Flores's racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL, to Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva being allowed to compete in the Olympics while African-American runner Sha'Carri Richardson was banned, to the prolonged detainment of Black WNBA star Brittney Griner in Russia. And while we still have much work to do to make equality a reality, The NBA in Black and White answers the question "How did we go from there being only white players in the NBA to the highest paid athletes in the NBA being Black?" and reminds us of the progress we've made toward equal opportunity and fair compensation for people of color.Philly native John Raymond "Ray" Scott's college career began at the University of Portland. After three seasons in the professional Eastern Basketball League, he was chosen as the 4th pick in the 1961 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons. He spent six years with the Pistons as a stand-out rebounder and deadly shooter from the perimeter, and another five years playing for the Baltimore Bullets and the Virginia Squires. Then, in October 1972, Scott was promoted from Assistant to Head Coach of the Detroit Pistons, thanks in part to strong support from former coach Earl Lloyd who, a decade earlier, had scouted Scott and recommended that he be the Pistons top pick. Two years later he was named NBA Coach of the Year, the first African-American to win the coveted award. From 1976 to 1979, Scott was Men's Basketball Head Coach at Eastern Michigan University. Today, he lives with his family in Eastern Michigan, not far from Detroit. This is his first book. ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE NBA IN BLACK AND WHITE"Scott, who became the first Black coach to be named NBA Coach of the Year in 1974, delivers a moving reflection on his influential career.Fans of the sport will relish Scott's insights, including how the game's been changed by the emphasis on three-point shooting.A valuable addition to hoops history." - Publishers Weekly"This is a truly wonderful book that reveals the difficulties of the quota system and all the other obstacles that African American NBA players had to face when the league began to integrate in the mid-1950s and beyond. It also tells how Ray and many other great Black players managed to achieve the fulfillment of their respective talents. Indeed, Ray was the rare successful NBA player who became a successful NBA coach. Along the way, the plight of 'ordinary' Black citizens who succeeded and/or tragically failed in facing their own racial barriers is addressed. Above all, Ray's honesty, intelligence, and deep understanding of how social injustice influences every aspect of all our collective and individual lives, makes this narrative totally relevant today. There's enough wisdom in here to enlighten and inspire even people who have little or no interest in basketball. Incredibly powerful-a must read." - Hubie Brown, NBA Coach of the Year (1978, 2004), member of the Basketball Hall of Fame"Ray Scott has chronicled his four-decades-long basketball odyssey beautifully. It is a thoughtful and well-written book about the transforming landscape of the NBA. He shares his firsthand knowledge and experiences and adds value to an era not so often discussed. I have been blessed to have known Ray, and blessed even more to have someone who trudged through the early days of the NBA take me along with him for the journey."- Marques Johnson, twelve-year NBA player, five-time All Star"I first met Ray Scott in 1965 when I was a rookie player for the Detroit Pistons. I was scared to death of the challenges I faced trying to make it in the NBA, but Ray welcomed me to the team. As one of the veterans, he organized all the players to work out and prepare for camp together. It meant the world to me, and I have never forgotten how he treated me. Ray's book brought back so many good memories from my NBA days. He was and is a leader and a wonderful example of how we should all respect, get along, and love each other. Ray is a good man."- Tom Van Arsdale, 12-year NBA player, three-time All StarGet the book here:https://www.amazon.com/NBA-Black-White-Memoir-Trailblazing/dp/164421198X

With the league filling seven of their eight coaching vacancies with African Americans this summer...Stephen A Smith is taking the credit.

Jeff welcomes guest Steven Blush, author of the recent book Bustin' Balls: World Team Tennis 1974-78: Pro Sports, Pop Culture, and Progressive Politics. We talk about how drastically WTT has changed from the early days, the crucial importance of Billie Jean King and the 1973 Battle of the Sexes, and how WTT fit into the 1970s cultural milieu. As Steven tells it, the original WTT was revolutionary, even "proto-woke," with a place for everyone, setting men and women on equal footing, and welcoming everyone from Black NBA star John Lucas to (eventually) transgender trailblazer Renee Richards. This is an in-depth look at a neglected but fascinating part of tennis history.

Icône contemporaine et basketteur de génie, le mythique numéro 23 restera comme un joueur impliqué dans le combat pour l'égalité. Mais « King » a pris son temps, passant d'un jeune homme loin des débats à un adulte en première ligne. Poing levé, genou au sol et tee-shirt « Black Lives Matter » dans la bulle d'Orlando, LeBron James montre l'exemple. Désormais, il est un joueur engagé, conscient que sa voix porte et que son implication peut changer les mentalités. Le plus grand joueur du 21e siècle a pourtant pris son temps. Au début de sa carrière, LeBron est un talent hors-pair mais pas un orateur. Il se retire des sujets politiques et se montre prudent. Quand et comment sa prise de conscience a-t-elle eu lieu ? Superstar devant l'Éternel, « LBJ » reste l'illustration d'une génération plus concernée. L'effacement de Michael Jordan ou Kobe Bryant n'est plus, les discussions plus ouvertes et les combats encouragés. Parmi tous ces combats, justement, LeBron James a choisi le sien : l'antiracisme. Comment s'y prend-il pour faire valoir les droits de toutes les communautés ? De quelle manière peut-il inspirer ses successeurs ? Animé par Arnaud Lecomte, avec Xavier Colombani​. Réalisé par Antoine Bourlon. Ce podcast est le sixième et dernier épisode de la série inédite « Black NBA », à découvrir en parallèle dans le quotidien L'Équipe et en version numérique.

De plus en plus pourvoyeuse de grands joueurs, l'Afrique suscite les intérêts nord-américains. Entre potentiels sportifs et économiques, la NBA entend bien s'y implanter. Le continent le plus jeune de la planète est un ami de la balle orange. Remplie de talents, en illustrent Hakeem Olajuwon hier ou Joel Embiid et Pascal Siakam aujourd'hui, l'Afrique est devenue prisée par les grands décideurs de la NBA. Avant la pandémie mondiale, la « Basketball Africa League » devait y être installée, faisant suite à la création de bureaux à Johannesburg en Afrique du Sud. Des projets structurels accompagnent des idées d'expansion : quelles sont les différentes initiatives ? Et qui dit bons joueurs dit recrutement. Forcément, la tentation est grande mais le retard énorme. Nombre de jeunes passent sous les radars des franchises et les trouvailles, contrairement au talent, relèvent souvent du hasard. Il va de soi, pourtant, que l'avenir peut se conjuguer avec Afrique. Les joueurs, eux, à l'image du MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, nigérian d'origine, entretiennent un lien particulier. Comment s'explique-t-il ? Quelles perspectives y a-t-il pour des partenariats gagnant-gagnant ? Animé par Xavier Colombani, avec Yann Onhonha​. Réalisé par Antoine Bourlon. Ce podcast est le cinquième épisode de la série inédite « Black NBA », à découvrir en parallèle dans le quotidien L'Équipe et en version numérique.

Au début des années 1990, Craig Hodges, coéquipier de Michael Jordan aux Bulls, tente d'initier une grève pour défendre les minorités et la communauté afro-américaine. Un peu trop seul pour y arriver, ce formidable shooteur à trois points paiera cher son initiative. C'est une époque, les 90's, qui n'aime pas vraiment le mélange des genres. La NBA progresse alors sur tous les plans et l'incommensurable talent des stars y fait pour beaucoup. Mais aux Chicago Bulls, derrière l'icone Michael Jordan et son discours parfois lissé, un joueur tente de faire valoir ses droits. Souvent remplaçant mais toujours utile par son adresse longue distance, Craig Hodges s'investit d'une mission : défendre les minorités et la communauté afro-américaine. Comment s'y est-il pris et dans quel contexte ? Parmi ses faits d'armes, le maître du concours à trois points comptera une tentative avortée de boycott de la finale NBA en 1991, esseulé par ses pairs puis mis au ban du sport professionnel. Lui dira que ses prises de position furent la raison de son éviction en 1992, année après laquelle plus aucune franchise de NBA ne le contactera. De quelle façon a-t-il permis une avancée ? Quelles leçons peut-on tirer de son parcours ? Animé par Xavier Colombani, avec Maxime Malet (à New York). Réalisé par Antoine Bourlon. Ce podcast est le quatrième épisode de la série inédite « Black NBA », à découvrir en parallèle dans le quotidien L'Équipe et en version numérique.

Le légendaire pivot a marqué de son empreinte l'histoire de la NBA et réussi à combiner sport et société. Encore aujourd'hui, celui qui changea d'identité au cours de sa vie reste un modèle d'engagement. Il avait beau s'appeler Lew Alcindor ou Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, après sa conversion à l'islam, il restera à jamais comme une grande figure du combat contre les inégalités. À son époque, le leader d'opinion s'appelle Mohamed Ali. Le pivot des Bucks puis des Lakers est un soutien. Et, mieux, il s'engage à ses côtés. Tellement fort que la ligue universitaire interdira le dunk, ce qu'on appellera plus tard les « Jabbar Rules », Lew Alcindor se montre exemplaire, pugnace et talentueux. Un modèle autant qu'une idole, qui boycottera notamment les Jeux Olympiques de Mexico en 1968. Comment a-t-il participé à la prise de conscience collective ? Personnage introverti, charismatique, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar s'illustre par sa grande sagesse. Au fur et à mesure des années, le géant new-yorkais s'impliquera encore et encore, par des biais différents mais toujours dans le même but. Grand monsieur du basket, Abdul-Jabbar reste en première ligne pour la défense des droits des minorités et de la communauté afro-américaine. De quelle façon s'implique-t-il aujourd'hui ? Animé par Xavier Colombani, avec Arnaud Lecomte. Réalisé par Antoine Bourlon. Ce podcast est le troisième épisode de la série inédite « Black NBA », à découvrir en parallèle dans le quotidien L'Équipe et en version numérique.

Resté dans les annales pour ses titres, Bill Russell, l'homme le plus « bagué » de l'histoire de la NBA, fut aussi un joueur et un entraîneur engagé. Ses prises de position ont marqué le sport américain jusqu'à briser toutes les frontières : un exemple absolu ? Un soutien à Mohammed Ali, un fidèle de Martin Luther King et puis sa propre voix, évidemment. Bill Russell fait partie des grands du basket, un statut qu'il doit autant à sa carrière extraordinaire qu'à son oeuvre hors du terrain. Première superstar afro-américaine de la NBA, en plus de devenir par la suite le pionnier des entraîneurs noirs, le pivot des Boston Celtics a d'abord révolutionné le jeu puis amené les générations futures vers davantage d'engagement. Comment a-t-il réussi à faire évoluer les mentalités ? Aux Celtics, franchise considérée comme la plus raciste de l'époque (les années 50 et 60), Bill Russell a lutté ardemment, passionnément. On se souvient de ses empoignades avec les fans, de ses contres, de sa provoc', de ses rebonds... Et puis de ses actes, forcément, lui qui n'hésita jamais à prendre position pour la défense des droits civiques. De quelle manière le meilleur défenseur de l'histoire est devenu une icône du combat contre les inégalités ? Animé par Xavier Colombani, avec Liliane Trévisan. Réalisé par Antoine Bourlon. Ce podcast est le deuxième épisode de la série inédite “Black NBA”, à découvrir en parallèle dans le quotidien L'Equipe et en version numérique.

Leur nom ne vous dit peut-être rien, et pourtant, le basket leur doit quand même un peu. Nous sommes en 1950 quand Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper et Nathaniel Clifton deviennent tour à tour le premier joueur noir drafté, le premier joueur noir à décrocher un contrat et le premier joueur noir à jouer un match en NBA. Pionnier d'un sport touché par la ségrégation, comme l'ensemble de la société US à l'époque, le trio initie alors la longue marche des Noirs dans l'élite du basket américain. Que reste-t-il de cet héritage ? Comment se sont-ils imposés ? Dans le sillage de l'icône Jackie Robinson, premier joueur noir de la MLB, la ligue nord-américaine de baseball, leur histoire mêle contexte social, stéréotypes et enfin sport, forcément. Elle invite aussi à découvrir des anecdotes, celles d'hier et celles pour la postérité, d'un hôtel de Caroline du Nord aux clubs de jazz des métropoles américaines. Quelles étaient les vies d'Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper et Nathaniel Clifton ? Qu'ont-ils changé en NBA ? Animé par Xavier Colombani, avec Maxime Malet (à New York). Réalisé par Roland Richard et Antoine Bourlon. Ce podcast est le premier épisode de la série inédite « Black NBA », à découvrir en parallèle dans le quotidien L'Équipe et en version numérique.
