I recently visited the university archives at the Hesburgh Library and was delighted to find an exhibit titled “Notre Dame Football Kills Prejudice: Citizenship and Faith in 1924.” The exhibit is on display through January.
Thanks, Jim. What a wake-up call to the power of prejudice Eagan’s book is...a stunning history lesson. Madge Oberholtzer so courageous as was the jury and so many other principled people. So why do the hate and oppression persist...?
Really interesting information. Fr. Joe will be proud of the “FIGHTING IRISH”!

That’s the million-dollar-question.
