George Taliaferro, whom the Bears made the first African-American draft pick in NFL history 69 years ago, died Monday at age 91. #GeorgeTaliaferro #ChicagoBears #NFL ・・・
He was drafted in the 13th round by the Chicago Bears in the 1949 draft and played 7 positions; QB, DB, RB, P, PR, KR, WR. No other athlete has repeated that commendable feat since. ・・・
Born Jan 8, 1927 Mr. Taliaferro was initiated at the Alpha Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. ♦️❤️ He was a high school football phenom at Gary Roosevelt High School in Gary, Indiana. He then joined the Indiana University’s football team.
Taliaferro was a standout, recognized for his remarkable gifts as a running back, quarterback, kicker and defensive back. He led #IndianaUniversity to its first Big Ten championship in 1945 and earned All-American honors from 1945-48.
Off the field, despite his football celebrity, Taliaferro experienced the full brunt of race bigotry and exclusion. Never one to meekly tolerate injustice, he spearheaded an effort to desegregate the IU Bloomington campus. At that time African Americans couldn’t live in the dorms, or frequent the local theater with the exception of weekends. He caused change! He was a leader for justice.
In 1946 Taliaferro was drafted into the United States Army for 16 months and returned to Indiana University where he played two more seasons. The following year he was named IU football team MVP, All-Big Ten and All-American. Wow! Taliaferro’s success in the league changed the game forever, opening pro football playing opportunities to African American athletes hungry for a chance to succeed, and make history as well!
He was the true example of lifting as you climb! #morethananathlete #football #leader #Vet #Kappa #kappaalphapsi #nflplayer #influencer
