Beyond's song "Glorious Years" sang thousands of deficits intoxicated, "Can you not distinguish between the boundaries of skin color, may this land, regardless of whether you or I are high or low" racial discrimination has always been a topic of concern to the people of the world.
In Texas in 1965, American society was facing a situation of black and white racial conflict. This is the background of the story recommended to you today. I believe that most viewers have seen this movie, especially those who like the sport of basketball, "Glorious Road".
Harkins, the coach of the high school girls' basketball team, was hired by Western Texas University to coach in the NCAA First Division. It's a mess, and this team is not only poorly matched, but also doesn't listen to Huggins. Huggins is a different coach than any other basketball coach. He doesn't have the color of his skin to select players, and in this era of severe racial discrimination, he is undoubtedly unique and enlightened.
Huggins was a meritocracy, organizing a team with black players at its core. In the United States in this era, black players are recognized as not playing, believing that although they have good physical fitness, they have low ball quotient, rough skills, and easy fever in their brains. Coach Huggins believes that talent is unique. Such a team that is not favored by everyone, including this one that has learned itself, has become the biggest dark horse in the new season, and they have been invincible all the way. He finally defeated white-starting Kentucky at the University of Maryland's famous cole field house to win the 1966 NCAA basketball tournament overall. Before this game began, Coach Huggins decided to use only 7 black players, which was not just a ncaa final, but a game to break the prejudice against black players. At that time, Kentucky's starting players included the now-famous Lakers, Knicks and Heat coach "God Operator" Pat Riley.
The result of this game not only defended the dignity of black people, but also had epoch-making significance, which made the American college basketball world officially enter the era of black and white coexistence.
The topic of racial discrimination has always been a controversial topic, and I hope that everyone will encourage us to break the concept of discrimination. Create our glorious years.
