Anyone else notice that @UMichFootball national championship WR teammates @CorneliusNation and @Trilllroman both led their respective NFL teams (@packers and @steelers) in receiving yards yesterday? 📸 @ClaudeJohnson

One of our artifacts is on display in the @metmuseum’s new "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" exhibition. It's a 1915 placard promoting a basketball game between two African American teams. Go behind the scenes with Black Fives founder @ClaudeJohnson! youtu.be/OA-3taE-avk?si=-8qo…

I remember Coach Carnesecca in 2009 visiting the wake for John Isaacs, star player for the world championship winning New York Rens (1939) and Washington Bears (1943), to pay respects. Didn’t have to do it, but that’s who he was. Game recognize game. 🙌🏽 Rest in Peace, gentlemen.
In Memoriam of Lou Carnesecca (1925-2024)
