What's good people? It's your boy Quincy Murdaugh

00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:04.620
with another episode of Nigel's Music Podcast

00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:13.419
where we keep it real and honest. Today I want

00:00:13.419 --> 00:00:17.859
to talk about the Harlem Globetrotters. The Harlem

00:00:17.859 --> 00:00:21.300
Globetrotters. Black history is significant because

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:25.239
they provided a platform for black athletes during

00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:29.730
segregation. Showcase black excellence. and help

00:00:29.730 --> 00:00:33.490
break down racial barriers in professional basketball.

00:00:34.570 --> 00:00:38.329
The victories against NBA's Minneapolis Lakers

00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:42.649
helped pave the way for the NBA's interrogation

00:00:42.649 --> 00:00:46.630
in 1950 when Nat Sweetheart Clifton, a former

00:00:46.630 --> 00:00:49.990
Globetrotter, became the first African -American

00:00:49.990 --> 00:00:54.500
to sign an NBA contract. The team also served

00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:57.140
as cultural ambassadors through their global

00:00:57.140 --> 00:01:00.719
tours, challenging stereotypes, and dispelling

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.319
myths about black people. So breaking down racial

00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:08.959
barriers. They were founded in 1926. The team

00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.900
offered black players opportunities in a sport

00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:15.500
where they were often excluded from the mainstream

00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:19.280
league. Now you look in the league, it's dominated

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.150
by blacks, huh? It's crazy, right? how times

00:01:23.150 --> 00:01:27.689
change. Interrogating the NBA. The team's victories

00:01:27.689 --> 00:01:31.290
over Minneapolis Lakers in the late 1940s demonstrated

00:01:31.290 --> 00:01:35.590
the skill of black athletes leading to the NBA's

00:01:35.590 --> 00:01:39.670
interrogation in 1950. As I stated before, Nat

00:01:39.670 --> 00:01:43.450
Sweetheart Clifton was the first to sign an NBA

00:01:43.450 --> 00:01:47.569
contract that year. Cultural ambassadors. The

00:01:47.569 --> 00:01:52.719
team's global tours, which began in 1959, made

00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.060
them cultural ambassadors who showcased athletic

00:01:56.060 --> 00:02:01.019
talent and challenged racial stereotypes worldwide.

00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:04.159

into WNBA, you know, just as the man was holding

00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.400
down in Women's War II. Challenging stereotypes

00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.370
by combining their exceptional basketball skills

00:03:40.370 --> 00:03:43.870
with humor and entertainment. The Globetrotters

00:03:43.870 --> 00:03:46.830
transformed the game and challenged negative

00:03:46.830 --> 00:03:50.150
stereotypes about black people, creating a legacy

00:03:50.150 --> 00:03:53.389
of black excellence. Y 'all read up on the Harlem

00:03:53.389 --> 00:03:58.129
Globetrotters, man. Big, big influence in the

black culture in every culture period, you know.

00:04:03.270 --> 00:04:04.750
I think these guys are still up and running,

00:04:08.169 --> 00:04:10.870
if some of them have died as players has been

00:04:10.870 --> 00:04:13.990
replaced But the main thing is the legacy is

00:04:13.990 --> 00:04:18.069
