I watched a documentary entitled "Something to Cheer About". This is the story of the first all black high school basketball team to win a State championship. www.imdb.com/title/tt0350142/Crispus Attucks High School located in Indianapolis, Indiana, was named after a black man who was killed in the Boston Massacre. Mr. Attucks is considered to be the first man to die in the Revolutionary War. secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Crispus_AttucksThe movie also explores the racism the team faced during the 1950's. I found the movie on netflix streaming.
