Woody Strode, a member of the NFL Forgotten Firsts and Black Bruins, was a UCLA track and football star, a World War II veteran, a professional wrestler, a Golden Globe nominated actor—basically a Renaissance man. Hubert Stowitt featured a portrait of Strode in his famed exhibition of athletic portraits at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, prompting the Nazis to shut down the exhibit since they did not agree with Jewish and African American athletes portrayed as such powerful, athletic individuals.

From the gridiron to the silver screen, Woody Strode's journey is one of incredible strength and perseverance. In 1946, he was one of the first African American players to reintegrate the modern NFL. He then transitioned into a prolific acting career, becoming a fixture in Hollywood and a favorite of legendary director John Ford. His Golden Globe-nominated role as the gladiator Draba in "Spartacus" is just one of many powerful performances he delivered. Let's celebrate the legacy of this remarka

In the early 1960s, Hollywood was still deeply divided by racial barriers when John Wayne and Woody Strode worked together under director John Ford. Strode, a pioneering former NFL player, became one of the first Black actors to lead a major studio Western in Sergeant Rutledge after Ford refused to bow to studio pressure. A powerful legend from that era claims that when a hotel denied Strode a room because of his race, John Wayne quietly refused to stay unless his co-star was treated with equal

Sergeant Rutledge (1960). Excellent film! Highly recommended. Starring Woody Strode, Jeffrey Hunter, Constance Towers, Billie Burke, Juano Hernandez, Willis Bouchey, Carleton Young, Judson Pratt. In 1866, new fighting units are formed within the U.S. Cavalry: the courageous 9th and 10th regiments. Plains Indians call them Buffalo Soldiers because of the bison coats they wear in winter. History, judging from the regiments' list of Medal of Honor winners, calls them heroes. Against this backdrop,

The Night John Wayne Chose Woody Strode, and Walked Away With Him Woody Strode knew discrimination well. Talent, discipline, and hard-earned respect could not always protect him in America of the early 1960s. Hotel doors still closed. Silence was expected. Endurance was assumed. But when that silence happened in front of John Wayne, it ended immediately. Wayne didn’t argue or demand explanations. He simply chose loyalty. If Woody was not welcome, neither was he.
