I don't know who the first black Lacrosse player was. I have read that Rutgers had a black player a in the 1940s, but I have no further information. The first black lacrosse player who rose to prominence was Jim Brown, a 2x All-American middie from Syracuse who graduated in 1957. Brown, from Manhasset NY, subsequently played professional football & acted in movies. === ===
