Spike Lee's Lil' Joints: Black Hoosiers


NBA Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson speaks about the first All-Black High School basketball team (Crispus Attucks High School) that he led, to capture the Indiana State High School Championship 60 years ago in 1955 and repeat champions in 1956, where Robertson was named "Indiana's Mr Basketball"

However, the Crispus Attucks High School Indiana State Back-to-Back Championship Teams nor their supporters, were NOT allowed either year, to celebrate their State Championship victories in the Indiana traditional way with an all-night bonfire celebration in Downtown Indianapolis.
