Harrisburg's First Black Cheerleaders
From Beverly Wills, 3 February 2009
I am interested in obtaining information about the first black cheerleaders,
Ruthie White and Barbara Brown. I am the activity director for a small
black youth football and cheering squad. We will be entering this years
Black History Parade and would like to honor and acknowledge these ladies. We would
like to have pictures and bios on these women who were the pioneers
of the black cheering squads. Please help me to let others know who gave us our
start. Thanks in advance for all your help.
