Despite having inadequate resources, the black schools' sports teams thrived during segregation and helped tie the state's scattered black communities together. West Virginia hosted the nation's first state-wide black high school basketball tournament, which flourished for 33 years, and both Bluefield State and West Virginia State won athletic championships in the prestigious Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association (now Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association). Black schools were gradually closed after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, and the desegregation of schools in West Virginia was an important step toward equality. For black athletes and their communities, the path to inclusion came with many costs."--Provided by publisher"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African American high school athletes $z West Virginia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American college athletes $z West Virginia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American schools $z West Virginia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American universities and colleges $z West Virginia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Segregation in education $z West Virginia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Discrimination in sports $z West Virginia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Race relations $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a West Virginia $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 7 $a African American college athletes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737376 650 7 $a African American schools. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01200378 650 7 $a African American universities and colleges. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799426 650 7 $a Discrimination in sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895130 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Segregation in education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111221 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a West Virginia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205316 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Brooks, Dana D., $e author. 700 1 $a Althouse, Ronald, $d 1935- $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200702012316.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5DDD49AEBC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
