ND and racial recruiting
On the 1966 national championship team Hall of Farmer and future Minnesota SC justice Alan Page was the only African American who saw the field for the Irish. Of course,not a lot of African Americans are Catholic because we were never plantation owners. But our profoundly Christian ideals always made ND a leader in terms of supporting civil rights and social justice. Nowadays our student body and our athletic teams are far more diverse. However, it appears that other teams still try to use old stereotypes against us. Glad to see it did not work.
