Must See TV: ESPN's Black Magic

 
If there is anything ESPN typically does not need any help with it is marketing itself.  But I want to give the world wide leader some help and encourage people to watch Black Magic. From the film’s web site , “the film tells the story of the injustice which characterized the Civil Rights Movement in America as told through the lives of basketball players and coaches who attended the Historical Black Colleges and Universities.” A two-part four-hour film, the first part aired last night on ESPN with the second part showing tonight at 9 PM EST.  It will re-air this Thursday and Friday, and then again on March 25 and 26. The first two hours told the stories of people such as John McClendon, John Chaney, Harold Hunter, Early Lloyd, Dick Barnett, Cleo Hill, Elgin Baylor, Oscar Robertson, Wilt and Russell, Sam Jones, Willis Reed, Pee Wee Kirkland and many others.  Some of these names I am sure you have heard of before, and some maybe you have not.  ...
