This episode of IDKME breaks down how NC A&T and Howard's matchup inside Cameron Indoor Stadium wasn't just a game -- It was a quiet rematch of the very 1st MEAC Championship in 1972. We dig into why that original game was played at Duke of all places, and how B Daht returned to that same campus as an honorary co-captain. And with his co-captain, Dr. Anne Micheaux Akwari, being the widow of Duke's 1st ever Black surgeon, Dr. Ony Akwari standing beside him, the night became a full-circle moment of sports, medicine, and legacy intertwining.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
