Changing the Game - Conversation with Dr. Yanela McLeod | June 1, 2020
Speaking with Director and Producer Yanela G. McLeod, Ph.D., who is creating a documentary on legendary Florida A&M University football coach Alonzo S. "Jake" Gaither based on the only authorized biography written in 1976 by Roosevelt Wilson, "Agile, Mobile, Hostile: The Biography of Alonzo S. "Jake" Gaither."
About the Documentary:
A one-hour documentary, "Changing the Game: The Jake Gaither Story," shares the civil rights legacy of legendary Florida A&M University head football coach Alonzo S. “Jake” Gaither, who skillfully, without contention, championed social change by using sports to improve race relations in and beyond the state of Florida. Special cinematic emphasis focuses on the iconic coach’s private campaign to organize and play the South’s first integrated college football game on November 29, 1969 between FAMU and the University of Tampa. The Rattlers emerged victorious 34-28 in the historic game that helped debunk a number of long-standing racial myths about black athletes, black coaches, and race relations between Florida’s segregated populations.
