Go Knicks.
My son’s teacher just called and said I might have to pick him up from school today because he started a loud “KNICKS IN 4 !” chant followed by a “LETS GO KNICKS!” chant during class.

The Bucks and Celtics tip off Black History Month and celebrate the first-ever NBA Pioneers Day with the inaugural NBA Pioneers Classic at 3:30pm/et on ESPN!
Throughout the 2025-26 season, we continue to honor the legacy of the NBA Pioneers – Chuck Cooper, Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton and Earl Lloyd, the league’s first Black players.
Chuck Cooper was the first Black player selected in the NBA Draft, going No. 13 overall as the first pick of the second round to the Boston Celtics in the 1950 NBA Draft.
Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton was the first Black player to sign an NBA contract, joining the New York Knicks from the Harlem Globetrotters on May 24, 1950.
Earl Lloyd was the first Black player to play in an NBA game. After being selected by the Washington Capitols as pick No. 100 in the 1950 NBA Draft, six months later the Capitols opened the 1950-51 season on October 31.
At Whitney Library, we’re screening Are You a Librarian: The Untold Story of Black Librarians on February 4th at 4:15, and it means more to me than I can put into words. As a Black librarian, I stand on the shoulders of people who fought to be seen, heard, and respected.
