Über diesen Titel
Cover Illus. by: Gail Nobles
Today we are about to shine a spotlight on a remarkable chapter in sports history! Can you imagine it’s October of 1923, and in the heart of Harlem, a groundbreaking team bursts onto the scene—the New York Renaissance. The New York Renaissance basketball team was commonly called the Harlem Rens according to a picture I have seen of a Renaissance program. Initially known as the "New York Renaissance," they were given the shorthand "Rens". They were also referred to as the "Renaissance Big R Five". Formed under the visionary leadership of Robert "Bob" Douglas, this wasn't just any team. This was the first black-owned, all-black, fully-professional basketball squad in history!
Now, where did they get their name, you ask? It was inspired by the Renaissance Casino and Ballroom, a vibrant hub that served as their home court. Can you imagine? A venue bustling with energy—ball games followed by lively dances, all right there in Harlem! This was not merely basketball; it was a cultural phenomenon!
The Rens played an essential role in transitioning black basketball from amateurism to professionalism. They brought excitement, skill, and of course, a flair that captured audiences. But let’s not stop there. Bob Douglas was a savvy businessman who recognized the potential to expand. Instead of sticking solely to Harlem, he took them on the road! They traveled all over the country, filling bigger places and earning the money they really needed.
Through their success, the Rens didn't just entertain; they paved the way for future generations, showcasing the talent, dedication, and spirit of black athletes on a grand stage. So remember, folks, the Rens were not just a basketball team. They were leaders in sports, setting the standard for what it means to be professional in the game. That’s a story to celebrate!
