Just for fun, at our table at the Sports Card & Trading Card Show at Modern Woodmen Park, I've been playing the broadcast of the all-time classic at Wharton Field House, and dug up video of the miracle game-tying shot, courtesy of Alek Jacobs and then-sportswriter Matt Dahlseid.

My thoughts in a thread:
It is time to improve our country. We need to do more than just post to social media. it is time for a change and this change is long overdue. We cannot pretend like this is a new issue. The fight for equality has lasted centuries and is not over yet.
