‘Black Magic’ to Air on ESPN

 Just in time for March Madness, ESPN will air “Black Magic,” a film directed by award-winning filmmaker Dan Klores that tells the story of the Civil Rights movement in America, as told through the lives of basketball players and coaches who attended and worked at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Narrated by actor Samuel L. Jackson, jazz great Wynton Marsalis, and New Orleans Hornets star point guard Chris Paul, “Black Magic” will be presented by Russell Athletic Group and State Farm commercial free on ESPN March 16 and 17, 6 p.m.
