The Quinn Cook Foundation

06/27/2023

Attended the 1st Annual EB Henderson Statue unveiling weekend. Friday night some of the Mothers of Basketball players took to the stage and spoke about our experiences of being mothers of professional athletes……an awesome event.
Saturday we attended the brunch where there were representatives from NBA Africa, the NBA, Politicians, educators and many more.
EB Henderson attended University of the
District of Columbia in 1904…..then went on to Harvard University to obtain a degree in PE. At that time basketball who was created by James Naismith in 1891 was strictly for the elite. However Dr. Henderson while at Harvard fell in love with the sport and bought it back to Washington DC. The once aristocratic sport was now introduced to the inner city youth.

He also happened to be one of the founders of ghe Alpha Omega chapter of Omega Psi Phi.

Wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. A very worthy cause indeed. I look forward to the 2nd Annual Fashion show and Brunch that will be hosted by the University if the District of Columbia in 2024🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
