I recently came across a YouTube video courtesy of the WSU Archives. The video is a highlight clip compiled of Wazzu’s visit to the University of Texas in 1954. If you didn’t know, this was the trip where Texas requested Cougar RB, Duke Washington, not make the trip to Texas because of the color of his skin. More after the jump.
Not only did Duke make the trip, but he was the first African-American to score a TD in Memorial Stadium!
WSU Today, did a great story on this historic day a few years ago.
I thought you would appreciate this unique look at history. Have a great weekend Cougar fans!
