College football evolved in the first part of the twentieth century. In the Black communities, early teams were competing against high schools teams (i.e. Tuskegee Institute High School, Pearl High School (Nashville, TN). As the future generations of educated Blacks came found their way into the colleges, there emerged a wealth of talented and hungry students who quickly picked up the nuisances of the sport of football. That created a family of dedicated teachers and coaches who spent decades developing great teams and athletes. This directory exemplifies those who have become legends and icons of the sport.
