Celtic Part-Owner James Cash Sees Light in the Long Social Justice Tunnel
Re: James Cash
Jim Cash has witnessed the fight for social justice from the front lines. For decades. When the Celtics limited partner speaks of the Civil Rights Movement, it is with a depth of knowledge and experience dating back to growing up in Fort Worth, Texas, and to his role as a trailblazer. In May 1965, James I. Cash Jr., became the first African-American to accept a basketball scholarship in what was then the Southwest Conference, signing on at TCU.
