I’m often asked, why Black Fives?

Here’s why.

Black Fives is all about taking history and making it relevant today.

Once it’s seen as relevant, people like you and me can then take important, timeless lessons from that past and apply them in our lives today, right now.

This allows us to engage, teach, enlighten, and inspire ourselves and others in ways that change peoples’ lives.

As a result, something that was once considered boring by some, is now made meaningful.

Anything meaningful helps evolve the consciousness of the world.  Now we can do this, one moment at a time.

You. And me.

In other words, we can make history now.

We feel so strongly about this outlook that we’ve adopted it as the company slogan:  “Make History Now.”

Yes, Black Fives, Inc. is also a business.  It’s a collection of vintage sports intellectual property having to do with the basketball teams of the Black Fives Era.  We have revenues, obligations, strategic goals, and an advisory board, as well as a charitable component.

Black Fives, Inc. researches, preserves, promotes, and teaches the history of African American participation in basketball, with focus on the many all-black teams that played from the early 1900s through the late-1940s, prior to the racial integration of pro basketball, a period known as the Black Fives Era.
