Fritz Pollard & Bobby Marshall Open the Door for Integration
Fritz Pollard, Bobby Marshall and Paul Robeson were some of the first black athletes to play professional football in the 1920s.
Their courage and skill helped pave the way for future athletes to further integrate the league in the modern era, post-World War II.
The Fritz Pollard Alliance Foundation honors those whose lives embodied the strength, determination and will to change the course of history for generations to follow.
