III. Description of the Artifact and It's Significance
While Cookie Gilchrist was a bruising running back for the Buffalo Bills, perhaps the most significant moment for Cookie may have come in 1965 on the eve of the AFL All-Star Game in New Orleans. Some black players who had visited the French Quarter had been refused admittance to two clubs. They came back enraged. Cookie organized a meeting and five hours later, 21 black players left town and vowed to boycott the game if it was held in New Orleans. The game was subsequently moved to Houston.
