'51 Dons
''51 Dons'' is a 2014 documentary film directed by Ron Luscinski and written by Luscinski, Tom Davis and Danny Llewelyn. Narrated by Johnny Mathis, it covers the 1951 season of the undefeated San Francisco Dons football team and their unique stand against racism. The team, including future NFL players and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees Bob St. Clair〔(Review Journal, February 14, 2014, Retrieved August 2014, Ron Kantowski )〕 and Gino Marchetti, declined an invitation to play in the Orange Bowl that would have required them to leave their African-American players Ollie Matson and Burl Toler home. This act was one of the contributing factors that led to the end of organized football at the University of San Francisco. The Athletic News Director, Pete Rozelle, went on to become the commissioner of the NFL where he reshaped American football.
==Synopsis==
In 1951, future Pro Football Hall of Famers Gino Marchetti, Bob St. Clair and Ollie Matson powered the University of San Francisco Dons to a sparkling 9-0 record. As one of the nation’s top teams, USF seemed assured of their first-ever bowl bid and a payout that would save their cash-strapped program.The Dons were invited to Miami under one condition – they take the field without their two African-American stars, Ollie Matson and Burl Toler. The Dons refused. By choosing not to play, they set a precedent of racial equality more than a decade before the Civil Rights Movement. The Dons' stand against racism is recognized by contemporary African-American studies scholars Dr. Harry Edwards and Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech writer, Dr. Clarence Benjamin Jones, as evidence of sports acting as an engine for social justice in America. Both men state this case in the film.
