They were meant to be the centerpiece of racially segregated education in the state, but shattered the myth of their inferiority. Anchored by Oscar Robertson, a future college and NBA star, the Crispus Attucks Tigers went down in history because of their on-court prowess. Hoose tells the true story of how an all-black high school basketball team became the first state champions from Indianapolis-- and the first all-black team in U.S. history to win a racially open championship tournament. Against impossible odds, they made a difference when it mattered most. -- adapted from jacket 000857197 60010 $$aRobertson, Oscar,$$d1938- 000857197 61020 $$aCrispus Attucks Tigers (Basketball team)$$xHistory. 000857197 650_0 $$aAfrican American basketball coaches$$vBiography. 000857197 650_0 $$aAfrican American basketball players$$vBiography. 000857197 650_0 $$aBasketball players$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000857197 650_0 $$aBasketball teams$$zIndiana$$zIndianapolis$$xHistory. 000857197 650_1 $$aBasketball players. 000857197 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xRace relations$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000857197 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2lcgft 000857197 85200 $$bcmc$$hGV885.43.C8$$iH66$$i2018 000857197 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:857197$$pGLOBAL_SET 000857197 980__ $$aBIB 000857197 980__ $$aBOOK
