My dad took me to see them when I was a teen. Poetry in motion! Amazing performance! I was born in Chicago where they began, but saw them in Oregon in 1971 in the local Armory. It was great bc it was a small venue!

When I was in high school in the 70s several of the Globetrotters came to Cambria Heights and played against the male facility. An unforgettable event, to say the least!
