Frankford Yellow Jackets - Major Score???
Posted By: Dan Bretta
Ha! I'm trying to figure out who the African American player is on that pinback. The first African American to play at Nebraska was George Flippen, but I'm pretty sure that he was gone by 1904. If I figure it out I'll let you know...I know that Nebraska was one of the first schools to integrate, but some teams refused to play them and I think it was somewhere around 1910 that Nebraska excluded blacks from playing on the team until I think about the 1940s or maybe even a little later than that. Gayle Sayers who is from Omaha went to Kansas because of what he called a racial inequality at Nebraska.
