Statue Honoring Earl Francis Lloyd Accepted By Alexandria City Council

by maryam

A statue in honor of Earl Lloyd was voted to be accepted by the Alexandria City Council on July 7. Earl Lloyd was the first Black man to play in the National Basketball Association. The statue is set to be unveiled on Oct. 31 on the 70th anniversary of Lloyd’s first NBA game. Councilor Del Pepper said, "It is an extraordinary gift. I really think [the statue] would help a lot of young men and women to be inspired."

The statue of Earl Lloyd is 9 feet long, 3 feet wide and 6 feet tall

According to alextimes.com, "Lloyd grew up in Alexandria and graduated from Parker-Gray High School in 1946. He went on to play basketball at West Virginia State University and then for the Washington Capitals. He also played for the Syracuse Nationals and Detroit Pistons, becoming the first Black man to play on an NBA championship team. Lloyd died in 2015." As per alextimes.com, "His wife, Charlita Lloyd, is donating the statue to be part of the African American Hall of Fame, located at the Charles Houston Recreation Center. The statue will be placed outside of the entrance to the basketball courts and is a duplicate of Lloyd’s Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame statue."
