Message: [QUOTE="DynstyUgrl, post: 849803, member: 4137"] Bobby Marshall, All-American 1903 - was a black player. First black player to play in the NFL. Oldest as well. He played professional baseball, hockey, football and was a boxer as well. But us Minnesotans have always been pretty progressive compared to everyone else. Roy Wilkins, Exec Director of the NAACP and the founder of the LCCR was a UMn grad. Whitney Young, Exec Director of the Natl Urban League was a UMn grad. Sandy Stephens was the first black All-American at QB. Tony Dungy was the first black Super Bowl winning head coach. [/QUOTE]
