How Come we Know The Story Of Jackie Robinson, but Not Much About "Kenneth Washington"??

Kenneth Stanley Washington(photo below) born in August 31, 1918, died in June 24, 1971) was an American professional football player who was the first African-American to sign a contract with a National Football League (NFL) team in the modern (post-World War II) era. Like Jackie Robinson in Baseball, Washington broke the NFL's color barrier way before when he took the field for the UCLA Bruins football team in 1939.

Please note, none of you in this board had ever mentioned mr Kenneth Washington, its not fair, meaning, Y'ALL FIRED!! LOL!
