Description
Indianapolis, 1955. They were meant to be the centerpiece of racially segregated education in the state, but shattered the myth of their inferiority. Anchored by Oscar Robertson, a future college and NBA star, the Crispus Attucks Tigers went down in history because of their on-court prowess. Hoose tells the true story of how an all-black high school basketball team became the first state champions from Indianapolis-- and the first all-black team in U.S. history to win a racially open championship tournament. Against impossible odds, they made a difference when it mattered most. -- adapted from jacket
