The Bright Incident

John Robinson

Des Moines Register & Tribune

This picture sequence, taken Saturday, October 20, 1951, at the Drake-Oklahoma Aggie game at Stillwater, Oklahoma, graphically portrays the slugging that forced Drake's Johnny Bright from the game with a broken jaw and focused attention on prejudice in football.
