The forgotten story of ... Herbert Carnegie's attempt to break ice hockey's color bar
There is only one Jackie Robinson, of course. A player who didn’t just break a color line but broke the color line. Perhaps because baseball dominated the sporting landscape in 1947, and the impact that Robinson’s Brooklyn Dodgers debut would have on the civil rights movement, No42 was, and continues to be, the unchallenged flag-bearer for the integration of North American sports. Others, including Earl Lloyd, who recently died at age 86, and broke the National Basketball Association’s color line in 1950, are footnotes in their respective sports – far less celebrated, with no sign of a coming Hollywood biopic.

Great Story. Unfortunate that he lived during a period such as he did during his career. However. He did go on to still be an outstanding person and do many things. The company I work for Investors Group has an annual award named after him that continues to carry on his name and legacy.
