Important 1925 photograph of Michigan track star De hart Hubbard as he posed for a photographer at the NCAA Championships. He was the first ever black American to win gold medal at the Olympics in 1924! Images of Hubbard are rare and this is one of his finest we have ever handled, with deep and precise clarity. Issued by NEA and stamped on the back with the date as well, the condition and quality are both outstanding! This is perhaps the finest image of a confident and proud Hubbard we have ever seen and it is being offered for the first time ever. An important piece of sports and social history!
