Nais-MYTH: Basketball's Stolen Legacy

25/03/2026

Darril and I would like to thank the Gilder Lehman Institute of American History for interviewing us and including our video discussions on Black Hockey in their AP African American Studies Guide. It is a great honor and one that is a milestone and professional highlight in our 40+ years as historians.
