"The greatest untold story in college basketball history"
Loyola University Chicago was ahead of its time when racial matters were forefront in a long overdue revolution in civil rights. The Ramblers of the 1962-1963 NCAA college basketball season were pioneers in race relations in sport, though most of the time they were simply playing the sport they loved.
When the NCAA tournament began in March, the Ramblers engaged in a series for the ages, daring to be the first NCAA Division I school to play five black athletes on the court at once and capturing the most prestigious title in college basketball at a time when states below the Mason-Dixon line still had laws on the books preventing black and white athletes from mixing even in pick-up games.
Records were set, rivals faced, and one of the most famous and significant contests in college basketball playoff history played out in what incidentally became a model showcase for race relations. Nearly every time the Ramblers took the court, the game was unique in its magnitude.
Relying significantly on exclusive interviews with surviving players, now in their seventies, Lew Freedman chronicles the entire journey, the adventure of the season that bound tight for a lifetime the group of men who lived through it."

Outstanding sunscreen.
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I just ordered my second bottle of this sunscreen. I live in Florida so sunscreen is a big necessity. Love it. The little tint is perfect and it feels great. It is not overly greasy. I do apply a little powder and a little blush then I’m on my way out the door. I highly recommend this product.

The perfect summer tint with SPF protection
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am really enjoying this CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen! I am always on the hunt for products that give me a quick, healthy glow without having to put on a full face of makeup, especially during the summer, and this completely hits the mark for easy coverage. ​The texture is beautifully lightweight and glides on so smoothly. I was honestly a bit nervous that it would leave that heavy, sticky, suffocating feeling that so many sunscreens do, but it is completely non-greasy. Plus, a huge win for me is that after wearing it for hours, it doesn't migrate or burn my eyes at all. ​The only reason I'm knocking off one star is the shade range. I picked up the Medium tint, and while I can definitely make it work for the summer when I have a bit more color, I really wish they offered an "in-between" shade option between Light and Medium. ​If you're looking for a comfortable, daily SPF that lets your skin breathe while evening out your complexion, this is a fantastic staple to have in your routine!

This really works!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
A week on the beach and no burns! It is a little hard to get rubbed in and I probably had a little bit of a white cast on my skin. So worth it though for the protection of me and the reefs.
