\nLEXINGTON, Ky.\u2014One who helped make it happen; two who experienced it; and one who chronicled this pivotal moment in the American story. The panel assembled to discuss \u201cIntegrating Athletics at Transylvania and Beyond\u201d will bring poignant personal accounts to the Feb. 13 installment of the year-long celebration of Transylvania\u2019s 50th year of desegregation, titled Still Overcoming: Striving for Inclusiveness<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt was in the racially charged 1960s when these men together and as courageous individuals broke down the barriers of segregation in collegiate sports.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\nWith award-winning sportswriter Billy Reed<\/a> moderating, hear the stories of former Transylvania and Alabama coach and former UK Athletics Director C.M. Newton<\/a>; Transylvania basketball star Jim Hurley<\/a> \u201969; and Wendell Hudson<\/a>, the first African American scholarship student-athlete at the University of Alabama and the 1973 SEC Player of the Year.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cEvery day there was a reason for me to quit,\u201d Hudson said in the video documentary \u201cStepping Through: A look at the past 50 years of desegregation at The University of Alabama.\u201d \u201cEvery day my freshman year here, every day there was a reason for me not to be successful or to give up and to let that defeat me. And when I talk to young people, like, that\u2019s no excuse, because, you know, everybody\u2019s going to have a story\u2026and it\u2019s going to be a long way from always [being] treated right, but that\u2019s still no excuse to not try your best.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nNow, in 2014, these men will bring thoughtful perspectives to the issues of race and ethnicity that they have strived to overcome and help illuminate issues still lingering in American society.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt promises to be a rare and important moment in our conversation about racial equality and justice.\n<\/p>\n
