I’m excited to interview one of my favorite people, Gary Kubiak, at the Dick’s in Katy. Gary and I will cover a lot of football-related subjects, starting with new Raiders HC Klint Kubiak, who’s following in his Pop’s coaching footsteps. We’ll also talk Texans and Aggies.

500 Black high schools once competed under PVIL. After integration, most were closed or consolidated. Some historians call it a “hostile takeover.” Integration was necessary. But was preservation neglected? Watch the documentary! https://t.co/mRDItNEFSt

Hall of Fame sportswriter John McClain spoke on HPM radio about why the story of PVIL needs to be told. After decades covering Texas football, he admits he had never heard of PVIL. That realization is what led to the making of this documentary ⬇️ https://t.co/mRDItNEFSt
