Lines Broken: The Story of Marion Motley
Gifted football star Marion Motley was one of pro-football's first Black players. In 1946, Motley was one of four African American men to break pro football's color barrier when he joined the Cleveland Browns. This production tells the Ohio native's story of adversity, personal tragedy and triumphs using rarely heard archival interviews and new interviews with historians, friends and descendants.
