Today's guest is a special and timely one. Nevil Shed was one of the players on the 1966 Texas Western Men's Basketball team who won the National Championship and ushered in a new era of desegregated college basketball.
Their story is famous now—you can watch the movie, Glory Road to see the season play out—but Nevil gave us a behind the scenes look into what life was really like in the 1960s for an African American college student living in New York and going to school in El Paso, Texas.
We originally planned to release this episode later this Summer, but in light of recent events in America, Nevil's words are startlingly relevant. We hope this episode serves as a chance for us all to look back at where we came from as we look forward to a different, more open and accepting, future. As always, thanks for listening.
