The Rhythm Boys of Omaha Central: High School Basketball at the '68 Racial DivideIn the spring of 1968, the Omaha Central High School basketball team made history with its first all black starting lineup. Their nickname, the Rhythm Boys, captured who they were and what they did on the court. Led by star center Dwaine Dillard, the Rhythm Boys were a shoo in to win the state championship. But something happened on their way to glory. In early March, segregationist George Wallace, in a third party presidential bid, made a campaign
In the spring of 1968, the Omaha Central High School basketball team made history with its first all-black starting lineup. Their nickname, the Rhythm Boys, captured who they were and what they did on the court. Led by star center Dwaine Dillard, the Rhythm Boys were a shoo-in to win the state championship. But something happened on their way to glory. In early March, segregationist George Wallace, in a third-party presidential bid, made a campaign stop in Omaha. By the time he left town, Dillard was in jail, his coach was caught between angry political factions, and the city teetered on the edge of racial violence. So began the Nebraska state high school basketball tournament the next day, caught in the vise of history. The Rhythm Boys of Omaha Central tells a true story about high school basketball, black awakening and rebellion, and innocence lost in a watershed year. The drama of civil rights in 1968 plays out in this riveting social history of sports, politics, race, and popular culture in the American heartland.Binding Type: Paperback

Anti Crack Cream
Color: 2pcs
As a first time user of O’CHEAL Anti Crack Care Cream…Wasn’t too satisfied with this product! The Peach scent wasn’t as solid as the original. I had a difficult time pulling the cover off and the stick broke…making application really messy! Product did not live up to the advertisement!

Lovely
Color: Silver White - 02, Color: Silver White - 02
This is the best body glitter I have ever owned. I have a spray one and it is not as shiny as this one. This one has a very good appearance. It literally is shining so bright without the lights being off. This is one drop on my hand that I spread around, it does go on as a liquid and then it dries up and soak in your skin . From the bottle It has a very fresh scent like a very, very light scent, but when you put on your skin, it doesn’t smell like anything so you can still put on your regular perfume without worrying about mixing fragrances. It’s a good decent size especially considering I only did one drop and I get so much glitter!
