AP Photo/Frank Franklin II-In this Feb. 19, 2014 photo, a pair of vintage leather and canvas basketball shoes and a set of knee pads are shown as part of an exhibit entitled “The Black Fives,” at the New-York Historical Society in New York. Dozens of teams flourished between 1904 and 1950 in what became known as the Black Fives Era, an often-overlooked piece of black history that is the subject of an exhibition opening at the New-York Historical Society on March 14.
