Just learned Doak Campbell retired in 1957, and FU admitted their first black student in 1958. Interesting context.

FSU's first black student was admitted in 1962.

Seems tamer than some other threads. This is just a simple historical fact.

So was mine. In fact... it was nothing but referenced material. No commentary at all - and no reponses.

Same here. Plus we now have this "https://www.palmbeachpost.com/sport...quomy-grandfather-was-not-segregationistrsquo".
In 1956, Tally was not the bastion of liberalism and progressive justice that it is today.

Even in this article the author still makes the claim that Campbell discusses banning anti segregation talk in the student newspaper as though he was thinking about doing it despite the fact that the historical article clearly shows that he merely mentioned the newspaper itself mighty veto such editorials.

It's pretty obvious at this point that very few people are interested in the truth here.

Fred Flowers was the first black athlete at FSU 3 years before the crocs.Calvin Patterson was our first black scholarship football player in 1968 a year before JT Thomas.

Can't put a derogatory FU post on the TC when the topic of the day is "FSU may change the name of Doak Campbell Stadium?" Sheesh.
