The oral history interviews conducted by John Behee between 1968 and 1974 cover a period from 1922 (William DeHart Hubbard) to 1972 (Godfrey Murray). They follow a fairly consistent pattern of questions and topics:

1. motivation and circumstances that brought the athlete to Michigan
2. high school experience and honors
3. athletic experience / accomplishments at U-M
4. relations with coaches and fellow players
5. any particular experience of discrimination or prejudice, in particular with regard to lodging and travel
6. any notable positive experience with coaches, teammates or others
7. election of Blacks as team captains
8. campus social life, including fraternities and interracial dating
9. housing discrimination in Ann Arbor
10. educational and work experience
11. response to the Black Action Movement BAM and the larger civil rights movement.

The interviews range from ca. 40-minutes to ca. 80 minutes in length. They are listed chronologically by date of the athletes U-M career. The sound level on some recordings is fairly low and you many need to raise the volume on your speaker.
