Don Silas, one of the IU Ten, has a remarkable story of adversity and triumph and reconciliation. He wants to tell it now, while there’s still time:

'The ones who fixed it.' How Don Silas, IU Ten sacrificed for equal treatment of Black players.

There is much more to Don Silas than the 1969 boycott. He has a remarkable story of adversity, triumph, pain and redemption. And he wants to tell it.
