Bill Hampton - Author of GUARDED
Bill Hampton was a member of the legendary 1955 basketball team from Crispus Attucks High School that made history by becoming the first all-Black team in the nation to win a state championship. Mr. Hampton’s memoir, GUARDED, is about survival, identity, and the quiet cost of living under constant pressure. He calls us to remember not only what was overcome, but what must never be forgotten. Thanks to Betsy Blankenbaker Murphy for introducing us! Betsy created the documentary on the legendary 1955 Crispus Attucks team, SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT. GUARDED by William "Bill" Hampton is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble online.
