What are you talking about? He played college ball from 1967 to 1970. Black players were allowed to play long before that back in 1947. Even in the ‘60s teams with five black starters won the national championship. He played while Kareem Abdul-Jabar was playing at UCLA. Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson played at college in the 50’s.

Not in the SEC. LSU’s 1st black player was in 1970. During the years that Pete played, the SEC had no black players in 1967, 1 in 1968, 2 in 1969, and 4 in 1970.
