Al Correll

Former Jayhawk captain Al Correll first called my attention to what was happening; in many ways it didn't seem such a big deal at the time.Al pointed out that the original '60-61 KU roster counted seven black athletes and one Native American among its top 10 players.They were Hightower, Correll, Bill Bridges, Jim Dumas, Nolen Ellison, Butch Ellison, Ralph Heyward and the Delaware Dandy, Dee Ketchum.

So, too, does Al Correll, the first African-American team captain in KU history.
