Upcoming Film
The Morgan Lacrosse Story
- Thursday, February 23, 2011
- 12:00 noon (CST)
- ACB 240
This is the story of the nation’s first and only college lacrosse team at a historically black institution. When a young, white administrator reluctantly accepts the position of head lacrosse coach at Baltimore’s Morgan State University, a six-year journey culminating in a shocking upset begins. The early 1970s were a racially charge period in our nation’s history, but the Bears’ solidarity and determination to succeed changed the sport forever. Underscored by the Native American roots of the game and its innate spiritual component, this is a sports story unlike any other. Through interviews with players, coaches, parents, and others who witnessed the Bears' success, the film recounts the struggles, the history, the tragedy and the triumphs of this inspirational team.
