The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 9th study session on the late Bill Russell's 1979 publication, Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opinionated Man. Russell passed away on July 31st of this year at the age of 88. The NBA titan is the first black head coach in US professional sports history. This includes being the only person in basketball history to win an NBA championship as a player/coach. Gus is a bit stunned that we've almost finished this book, and Mr. Russell apparently left out the time when White Terrorists broke into his residence and defecated in his bed. #BringingUpOldIsh Last week, Russell gave details about his refusal to sign autographs. He said this refusal angered Whites more than anything he said about White Supremacy/Racism. This also surprised Gus, because Russell wrote this statement well after his support of draft-dodging Muhammad Ali in 1967. But after reflection, Gus recalled the FBI mentioned Russell's autograph impertinence when justifying their COINTELPRO surveillance of him. The sassy Russell used the same logic to reject his Hall of Fame induction. He talked about the Racist Suspects who formed this basketball institution and how they made rules to sanctify their White hoops friends. He also called out Hall of Fame Racists by name, such as: William Mokray, Adolph Rupp and Abe Saperstein. Mokray worked for the Celtics, repeatedly lied to Russell and bamboozled him into performing niggling tasks. Rupp was a devout White Supremacist who bragged about maintaining an all White squad at the University of Kentucky. Saperstein owned the Harlem Globetrotters, helped prohibit black players from joining the NBA, and peddled pornography to lure black males into traveling minstrel show. #FirstTimeLastTime #BlackSelfRespect #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
