In early September, Maya Washington, daughter of former MSU football star Gene Washington, came to MSU and debuted parts of her upcoming documentary Through the Banks Of the Red Cedar.
Through The Banks of The Red Cedar tells the story of the 1965 MSU football team and showcases how MSU head football coach Duffy Daugherty used his unbiased recruiting process to bring African American players to the MSU football team, which in turn helped the team become one of the top programs in the country throughout the 1960s.
