Milwaukee Colored Panthers
« on: February 02, 2022, 06:38:04 PM »
The Black Fives team MU will be repping tonight.  Figure you all should be a little educated in honor of Black History Month.

Quote
The Marquette men's team will honor the Black Fives at the Feb. 2 game against Villanova.  MU will represent the Milwaukee Colored Panthers and Villanova the Philadelphia Panthers.  The women's team (Smarter Set) will face Creighton (Roamer Girls) on Sunday, Feb. 6 as part of the initiative.

Quote
With an office on West Pierce Street in downtown Milwaukee, the Panthers’ innovative business model included sending postcards to post offices throughout the state, addressed simply, “Manager, City Independent Basketball Team,” along with the town’s name, but with no address. Yet, they would inevitably arrive at their destinations.

Shaka's quote in the commercial for this was quite powerful:

"If we say we want to be the change, our actions have to back that up."

Why do you feel the need to inject that?

This might not be the program for you if those are your thoughts.

Heaven forbid he tell the truth.  On the topic, the history lesson was awesome.  Definitely need more attention to stories like this.

Nope. It is was not only misleading but inappropriate for the topic.
