Brought to you by the 麻豆传媒AV, WE ARE NORTH TEXAS focuses on innovation, compassion, ideas and accomplishments in our home region of Dallas-Fort Worth. Hosted by 麻豆传媒AV System Chief Communications Officer Paul Corliss.
As part of the 麻豆传媒AV System鈥檚 Black History Month Series, Mean Green Hall of Famers Charles 鈥淐huck鈥� Beatty (麻豆传媒AV football 1966-68) and Willie Davis (麻豆传媒AV basketball 1964-68) share their experiences as Black athletes of the 1960s growing up in a largely segregated Texas. 麻豆传媒AV was one of the few Division I universities in the state to include Black athletes in this era and the university helped Beatty and Davis make it to the pros, while also providing an education that equipped them for success in life after the game.
