10 Wednesday, February 13, 2019 The Harlem Rens BLACK HISTORY MONTH

11 Back in the 1920 s when people of color couldn t play with whites, the Harlem Rens were formed and became the first all-black professional basketball team to pave the way and change history. When the NBA was created, it was segregated, and these players helped to permanently change that. Also referred to as the New York Rens and the Renaissance Big Five, the team was established on Feb. 13, 1923, when their manager and owner Robert Douglas struck an agreement with Harlem real estate developer William Roach, who owned the New Renaissance Ballroom and Casino. In 1934, the Rens won 88 consecutive games, and between 1932 and 1936, they won 473 games and lost only 49. Three years later, they won the first World Basketball Tournament held in Chicago, Illinois.
