- Day 5: Bill Russell Who else do you know with 13 NBA championships? Before the professional dominance, he led the University of San Francisco to back-to-back NCAA titles, announcing himself as a player whose greatness was rooted in discipline, defense, and an unwavering commitment to the team.
- Drafted by the Boston Celtics in 1956, Russell became the anchor of one of the most dominant dynasty in sports history. Over 13 seasons, he led Boston to 11 NBA championships, redefining success through rebounding, defense, and leadership rather than personal acclaim.
- A five-time NBA Most Valuable Player, Russell later became the league’s first Black head coach, guiding the Celtics to two additional titles from the sideline.

- Still giggling at that man basically saying no one wants him.

- I genuinely don’t think there’s anything Emerald Fennell can do to escape the beating she’s getting right now. I just truly think she did not read that book at all. #filmsky
- Day 4: Luci Collins Women’s gymnastics is one of the most watched Olympic sports in the United States. Every 4 years, we tune in to witness strength, precision, and fearlessness performed at the highest level. For countless young girls, those moments spark belief that they too can reach that level.
- In 1980, Luci Collins became that figure. At just 16 years old, she made history as the first Black woman named to the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Team. Although the world never saw her compete in Moscow due to the U.S. boycott, her achievement remains undiminished.
- The opportunity was taken by politics, not performance, but none of that relieves the emotions that arise when the chance to compete for an Olympic gold medal is taken away.

- Day 3: Fritz Pollard learned early how to survive in spaces not built for him. Growing up in largely white Rogers Park outside Chicago, he encountered racism firsthand and was taught how to move carefully, strategically, and with purpose in a world that demanded restraint from Black excellence.
- In 1916, he became the first Black athlete to play in the Rose Bowl and the first African American named to Walter Camp’s All-America team. Nicknamed “the human torpedo,” Pollard led Brown to historic victories over Yale and Harvard. He became the first African American inducted into the CFB HoF.
- He is recognized as the first Black quarterback in NFL history and one of the league’s earliest Black head coaches. In 1926, Pollard—along with all nine African American players in the NFL at the time—was forced out of the league, never to return.
