About this Event
Before the names widely recognized in sports history, Harry “Bucky” Lew was breaking barriers. He integrated professional basketball in 1902 and college basketball in 1903 and later became one of the first Black referees and team owners in the sport. His contributions helped advance the broader movement toward full integration in major league athletics.
Learn more about the life and legacy of Bucky Lew through this book talk and Q&A featuring biographer Chris Boucher, sports historian Douglas Stark, and Lew’s granddaughter Wendy Johnson, who will share insight into the life and legacy of a pioneering figure in basketball history. A book signing will follow.
