Dear Crispus Attucks Alumni, Family and Friends,

The National Crispus Attucks Alumni Association invites you to join us for a very special celebration of Crispus Attucks history, basketball, perseverance and legacy as we honor legendary Crispus Attucks alumnus Bill Hampton and the release of his new memoir, GUARDED: A Memoir of Basketball and Breaking Barriers.

Sunday, August 23, 2026
1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Broadmoor Country Club
2155 Kessler Boulevard East Drive
Indianapolis, Indiana 46220

Bill Hampton, an Indiana Basketball Hall of Famer and starting guard for the historic 1955 Crispus Attucks Tigers State Championship Team, shares a remarkable story that extends far beyond the basketball court.
GUARDED chronicles Hampton’s journey from poverty and Jim Crow-era Kentucky to Indianapolis, where basketball became a source of opportunity, discipline and hope. His story follows his experiences with college basketball, racial discrimination, public service, entrepreneurship, fatherhood, faith and the choices he made throughout his life.

At the heart of the memoir is the story of a young man who helped make history when the 1955 Crispus Attucks Tigers became the first all-Black high school in the nation to win an open state championship and the first Indianapolis high school to capture the state basketball title.

Now, at age 91, Bill Hampton shares these memories so that future generations will understand where they came from, what was overcome and why this history must never be forgotten.

Join us for an afternoon of light refreshments, birthday cake and fellowship, meet Bill Hampton, and have the opportunity to receive a signed copy of his new memoir.
The official release of GUARDED on Amazon and Barnes & Noble is August 25, 2026.

Come celebrate 91 years of an extraordinary life—and a legacy that helped change Indiana basketball history.
We look forward to seeing you there!
National Crispus Attucks Alumni Association of Indiana, Inc.

Please share this invitation with family, friends, Crispus Attucks alumni and everyone who appreciates the history and legacy of Indiana basketball.

“Ray Crowe” State Historical Marker - Will Be Dedicated in Whiteland, Indiana.

A new Indiana State historical marker commemorating esteemed basketball coach, educator, and politician Ray Crowe will be unveiled in the town of Whiteland on Friday, March 15, 2024.

The marker dedication will begin at 10:00 am at the southeast corner of the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation Administration Building at 50 Center St., Whiteland, Indiana 46184. Parking for the program is available at the Administration Building and along nearby streets.

Alumni are invited and encouraged to attend the unveiling.

Trailblazing basketball coach Ray Crowe of Johnson County excelled at multiple sports at Whiteland High School and Indiana Central College in the 1930s before beginning a career in education. In 1950, he became head basketball coach at Indianapolis’s all-Black Crispus Attucks High School. Crowe led Attucks to the state finals four times, winning titles in 1955 and ’56. Crowe’s emphasis ongood sportsmanship and fast-paced, aggressive play helped Attucks become the first all-Black team to win the state championship and challenged pervasive racism.

He served as athletic director at Attucks from 1957-1967. As a member of the Indiana House of Representatives (1967-1975), Crowe worked to make education more equitable and accessible.

This is the first state historical marker in the town of Whiteland
and one of five standing state historical markersin Johnson County.
