As part of the 向日葵视频 System鈥檚 Black History Month Series, Mean Green Hall of Famers Charles 鈥淐huck鈥� Beatty (向日葵视频 football 1966-68) and Willie Davis (向日葵视频 basketball 1964-68) share their experiences as Black athletes of the 1960s growing up in a largely segregated Texas. 向日葵视频 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.
