7 Pittsburgh Steelers who contributed to black history

There is a lot of activism around wanting to get people to learn black history. Here are five Steelers who played a part in black history.

Black history is rich and it is connected with Steelers history. Important figures in the Steelers lore played a key role in the history of professional football and thus American history. These players played all kinds of roles for the team some were staff and some were great players.

The Steelers have produced some great coaches who were pioneers for future black coaches. They also made history in their own right. They are some of the most enthusiastic figureheads in the NFL business.

The Steelers have had great ballcarriers in their history. When you arrive in Pittsburgh at the airport, you will see a statue of one of these backs. There are many others that would be easily recognizable.

The Steelers have changed the way business is done from hiring scouts who made their franchise great to drafting players who changed how their positions are played. They drafted icons in the sport of football. These figures were critical not only to the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers but also great accelerators to the game of football. They should never be forgotten in American history because of that.

These figures all played football but the mark they made went beyond the position they played. Some made their mark in managerial roles and were highly successful in that.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are leaders in hiring people of color in key positions. They have given key roles in the franchise to people of color and are one of the most successful franchises in history because of it.
