A Long Road: African American History at K-State

This video highlights the experiences of five African-American K-State icons. One desegregated a Kansas swimming pool, another integrated a neighborhood, and one began a football career as the first Black football player at Kansas State and ended it with the Green Bay Packers. Stories include Dr. Martin Luther King's visit to K-State, the impact of his assassination, and a motivational segment that encourages us all, "If it is to be, it is up to me!" Above is the full documentary. The chapters are are also available in separate videos in this playlist.
