Marion Motley, shown here in a publicity photo from the early 1950s, was one of four black players who integrated professional football in 1946, a year before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball.
Jackie Robinson is famous and celebrated for integrating Major League Baseball in 1947.
Professional football integrated the year before, but the four players who accomplished that feat largely are forgotten.
A half-hour documentary premiering Friday hopes to bring attention to the greatest of those four athletes, Canton native Marion Motley. “Lines Broken: The Story of Marion Motley” will air nine times on PBS Western Reserve and its Fusion channel for Black History Month.
