Honoring Tar Heel Trailblazer Willie Cooper
Posted Feb 27, 2020
Willie Cooper played just one season in a North Carolina uniform, 1964-65 on the UNC men's basketball freshman team. Earlier this month on the Smith Center court where the Tar Heels now play, he was finally applauded for that historic feat. In his one season for the Tar Heels, Cooper became the first African-American student-athlete to compete for UNC.
