Has anyone seen this great documentary on HBO? Its focus is on the three Southern Conferences (ACC, SEC, Big 12) and how they mirrored the slow progress on Civil Rights of their environments. I had no idea the SEC did not have a single black player until the 1970's! Jim Brown was the NFL MVP in 1965! Some of the stories are quite moving from the former players.
