The Game of the Century

Dear tom, This week’s artifact is a vintage 1940s basketball placard in the Black Fives Historical Archive, promoting "The Game of the Century" between the New York Renaissance and the New Britain Pros. Who won? Why was the game hyped like that? What was at stake? Who was in the New York Rens lineup? Who played for New Britain? Why was it played there? What else was in that town? To find out, watch the video! Artifact of the Week (4): Placard It's your turn to make history now.
