“More Than a Game: Champions in the Midst of Desegregation”, by Historical Society of Palm Beach County
February 24, 2022 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Please join the LWVPBC Outreach Committee on Thursday February 24th at 10:30AM at the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum for a private tour of the exhibit “More Than a Game: Champions in the Midst of Desegregation”. The tour will be led by Historical Society of Palm Beach County staff member Lise Steinhauer.
Meet the 1968 Maroon Devils and their basketball coach, Floyd Andrews, from Roosevelt, the all-Black high school in West Palm Beach until 1970. Taught not to use racism as an excuse, they made history while integration made slow progress in athletics and education.
