The Historic Journey of the First Black Football Players at the University of Georgia
A groundbreaking chapter in college sports history is being revisited as the University of Georgia’s first Black football players from 1971 share their story through a new documentary. This film, titled “The First Five: Legacy in Motion,” highlights the experiences of these pioneering athletes. Horace King, a key figure in this narrative, recently spoke with Timothy Goldsmith from WUGA to reflect on his time at the university and his upbringing in Athens.
