There's a Michigan State pennant in Ernest Green's room in the movie "The Ernest Green Story."
For those of you that aren't familiar with Ernest Green, he was part of the nine black students that we're chosen to integrate into an all-white high school in Little Rock. Michigan State offered him a full-ride academic scholarship, and the movie mentions this.
I heard that Hannah personally financed Green's education, but didn't let anyone know. They found out by going through his files after Hannah's death.
