The NCAA’s Men’s Basketball tournament, better known as March Madness, has created some of the greatest moments in sports history. In 1963, a game took place that changed the fabric of American society. The Loyola of Chicago Ramblers’ basketball team started four African-American players, and faced the subsequent pressure of over nationwide discrimination and racism. The Game of Change reaches far beyond sports, demonstrating this particular event’s significance in the battle for race equality in a segregated country.
