THE UNOFFICIAL LOUNGE

UL #22 UK Wilbur Hackett Surviving in the #SEC


Listen Later

UNOFFICIALLOUNGE.com We speak with a living piece of American history. The color barrier was entrenched in the #SEC until 1966.  At the University of Kentucky a change came under coach Charles Bradshaw. The Wildcats recruited defensive end Greg Page and receiver Nate Northington, the first African-Americans to integrate football in the 1967 SEC season! In what is described as "barbaric" practices something happened that left Greg Page paralyzed. Leaving Wilbur Hackett and Houston Hogg as freshman trailblazers, to endure and overcome the mental hardships and racism of the south!  The story, yet to complete, rejoices with the raising of a statue at #UK and Wilbur Hackett earning his degree in 2020! #UnderReview #Field2Life #unofficiallounge #football #unofficialpodcast Find out more at http://www.blackinblue.org Find us at https://linktr.ee/unofficiallounge   Follow the host: @805monty - Instagram @805monty - Twitter @thechefandtheref - Instagram @CravonneB - Twitter
