Robert Lee Brown: A Champion for Equality
Robert Lee Brown's impact on Texas sports extends beyond the playing field. As a career coach and later, the chairman of the Prairie View Interscholastic League Coaches Association (PVILCA,) Brown has played a crucial role in preserving the history and legacy of African American athletes and coaches during the segregation era.
The PVIL, which governed academics and athletics for black schools during segregation, produced numerous outstanding coaches and athletes. Brown's efforts to highlight these contributions have ensured that their stories are remembered and honored.
