Peter May recounts another proud moment in Celtics history, Red
Auerbach's drafting of the first black basketball player in the NBA.
(Note that our Celtics were also the first major professional sports
organization in America to hire a black head coach.)

Just another reason why "you're either a Celtics fan, or you wanna be."
