To the students who did this movie. I hope you realize it will be viewed hundreds of years from now. Excellent job and thank you. Hopefully it will be viewed during a time when it will seem primitive to have judge someone by their race. It is difficult for humans to overcome the natural inclination to form groups. Group formation is genetically programmed as a matter of survival. Tearing down the walls of Injustice and prejudice is a human evolutionary process. That process was expedited exponentially by this basketball game.

I was a junior in high school when Texas Western and Kentucky faced off for the NCAA Championship. I was for the underdog and little did I know the implications of this game until years later when Glory Road come out, Hollywood version of course, and I always wanted Coach Haskins (RIP) to win another title. He was truly the "icebreaker" in a segregated college sports world and brought me to the realization what "We are Penn State" meaning.

Good job on this video ! Well done ,bravo

Congrats you two students. Your work was great to listen to, and watch. 😊

I lived through this era. All of this is EXAGGERATED. For example, in Oklahoma-hardly a northern liberal bastion-there were Jewish, Native American and, yes BLACKS at my high by 1966. Almost NO RACIST. A few dumb asses but who cares. Remember. It was Lyndon Baines Johnson and the DEMOCRAT party that implemented the great society which DEVASTATED black communities.

I remember those years in the mid-sixties, racism was still a problem, even in integrated Los Angeles where I grew up. I remember telling tasteless racist jokes as a teenager and not thinking I needed to do anything to stop prejudice and the segregation mind-set. I just thought that was the way everyone was supposed to be, we, those who chose not to relinquish our prejudice, all were afraid what our peers would think of us if we were to take the step toward peace and what was right by accepting blacks, Mexicans and people of different cultures as equals. The point we were at took over a hundred years to get to; from the first drops of blood of the Civil War; to Brown vs. Board of Education (1954), (with almost no effect), then to Brown II, (with very little effect), then about 10 years to the Civil Rights Act, (with some change, after a MLK followed by a restless period of violence and civil unrest, then 10 more years (1974) to Boston bussing, and Hank Aaron getting death threats. But when I see these stories like; Jesse Owens; Joe Louis; Jackie Robinson; Muhammad Ali; "Remember the Titans"; Texas Western U; Pete Maravich; Earl Monroe; and others. Now I am amazed at their fortitude and courage, compared to my cowardice and I regret knowing I could have done more.

This seems equivalent to "The Man Who Out-ran Hitler"; Jesse Owens. Hitler claimed the superiority of the "white race" and was appalled when Jesse Owens beat every one of his German "super-race" athletes. It is reported after awhile whenever Owens entered the arena to compete, Hitler would make a stir by getting up and leaving, in an attempt to work up the crowd to hatred. But even some of the German competitors began to show respect for Owens for his magnificent abilities. One even came to Owens and give him advice with a certain event.

They made history and also with a great person like their coach they changed the game forever thank you very much Sir.

Lovely voice ^^

Love the constant put down (of Texas Western....a team that only plays an individual style game.....they really don;t have much of a chance....Kentucky lost the championship) by the play-by-play commentators, they must have slept bad that night!!

Baylor University only Texas team to win a NCAA basketball title legitamately!!!! Freshmen weren't eligible in 66!!! A certain Lewis Ferdinand Alcindor was a freshmen at UCLA!!!! No way a 6 6 guy slams on Big Lew!!!!

Excellent job ladies! My middle school students watched Glory Road for the first time and was surprised to learn it was based on a true story. Your documentary helped to pull things together for them!

We were incredibly blessed to have had Don Haskins at UTEP for so many years. He had a lot of great teams under his tutelage. Great job girls! I enjoyed watching your project.

Great job on this film!

Baylor win

Short, profound, and objective! Enjoyed very much😀

Well done!

Amazing Documentary! Waaaay better than the one I came here from. And better than trying to watch the whole game, as well. That game was slow paced as sh!t.

cute girl narrating.

Great Job girls. Glory Road just brought me here. 5/31/20

Fast forward to 2020 when the whole world is mourning Kobe, and Pat Riley was at the Memorial...

That was the game that changed everything..

Excellent video. However, Latin people need to understand you and ask you put subtitles in English or in Spanish please.

The entire game is uploaded on UA-cam on another page. Awful game, so many missed shots.

It is absolutely disgusting how African Americans have been treated ....simply despicable

LIKE if you´re here because of the movie "Glory Road" :)

Glory Road will always be my all time favorite movie - this story will forever be in my heart.

Awsome job ladies. How could video have 8 dislikes? Unbelievable.

Very good, I enjoyed it. David Lattin, the center for Texas Western, attended the same school that I attended, Worthing high, Houston, Texas.

Nicely done! Loved the movie, grew up in El Paso, thanks for the perspective minus Hollywood! GO MINERS!!!

Coach Haskins, You did so much for The game, for Athletes, and Thank you for putting Texas Western aka UTEP and El Paso on the map!!!

Excellent work on this documentary by your two daughters. This game changed history and was presented with so much class in this video. Very well done, and this is something they will be proud of for years to come. Thanks, JohnG

Your daughters did such a great job. I show my students this every year in PE during our basketball unit. I cannot truly express how thankful I am you all did this!

should have been undefeated...

thank you coach Hawkins God bless you

Well Narrated :)

So well done! I hope you got an A! =)

Nicely done.

Many people are not aware that the majority of the university of Kentucky team had came down with the flu

Glory Road 1966 NCAA Championship Part 2 of 2

Very well done.

This was fantastic! (I always competed in History Day in middle and high school). Props!

A well done short documentary, it gets right to the point and supports what it says. I don't mean to cause any trouble, but I have to respectfully disagree on some parts about Adolph Rupp. Rupp did try to recruit black players, and had a similar way of thinking as Haskins; that if a player would help him win, it didn't matter what color their skin was. Rupp made efforts to recruit African Americans Wes Unseld and Butch Beard, among others, but couldn't guarantee their safety in the segregated Southeastern Conference, so those two played for other teams instead. In addition, Kentucky willingly played teams from unsegregated conferences when other teams from their own conference turned down the invitations, because they may have to play against unsegregated teams. Again, im not here to start trouble, im just telling my take on this specific aspect. Still, a very well done documentary, I enjoyed it very much

I enjoyed the movie, great documentary. I just wish that the game was clear. I didn't know Pat Riley play for Kentucky he's my favorite coach for the Lakers back in the 70s

tell ur girls .they did a "great job" in making this awesme documentry......and i want to make a favour.i justedwanted the last whole video of kentucky vs westerns..........pls...........#awesme video

Thanks to all for commenting. This was put together by my two daughters (11 & 13 at the time) for their local History Day competition. If you have any specific questions there's an email address at the very end of the credits.

Thank you so much for this excellent documentary!!
