[REWIND] Pre-recorded Zoom Program 
 

Join us for the story of the desegregation of four major sports—baseball, track, football, and basketball— at the University Michigan during the decades leading up to the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision which outlawed segregation across public schools and postsecondary institutions across the country.
