1951 Rare photograph of early black football pioneer and track superstar, Buddy Young, in uniform. He was drafted in 1947, the same year Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball, and became a huge star and symbol of equality! Young is an underrated figure in the game and this is one of his beat images ever offered. Stamped on the back by Wide World Photos and with a paper caption as well.
