In connection with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Elvin Hayes did an interview Monday evening with Houston radio station KILT 610 (
archived audio). The focus of the interview involved Hayes's reflections on coming from a small-town in segregated Louisiana to play at the University of Houston, as the university
integrated its athletic program in the mid-1960s. The Game of the Century, in which Hayes played a starring role, was also touched upon a bit in the interview, as were former Cougar coach Guy V. Lewis's contributions to sport and society.
