Throughout the month of February, BGSUFalcons.com will be highlighting some of the African-Americans who have impacted the University, the community and the athletics department. From pioneers to more recent members of the department, Matt Markey will be providing the stories of our history. Kicking off the month is a feature story on Carlos Jackson, one of the first African-American coaches at BGSU.
As a footnote, the Green Bay Packers recently discovered, as revealed in this story (CLICK HERE for link), that Walter Jean may have broken the color barrier for the Packers. As noted in the story from the Packers, Jean was head coach of Bowling Green in 1920, the second year of the program's existence.
