Go, Blue: A History of Michigan Athletics and International Travel
The University of Michigan has forged a worldwide reputation for its teaching and research, but less well known is the long history of international ties forged by its student athletes. Join us and Bentley archivist jay winkler as he shares stories of U-M’s sports teams’ global travels starting with the football team’s forays to Canada in the 1880s to the baseball team’s voyages to Japan in the 1920s to the “lost” history of basketball legend Cazzie Russell in Egypt and beyond.
