The world's first Black professional basketball player lived and played in Lowell

Local author Chris Boucher joined WBUR's All Things Considered to talk about Harry "Bucky" Lew, the first Black professional basketball player.

Lew was born in Massachusetts and played professional ball decades before the Celtics signed the first Black basketball player in the NBA, Chuck Cooper. Boucher will talk more about Lew on Saturday at the West End Museum.
