A SIMPLE PICTURE THAT IS NOW APART OF BLACK HISTORY, AMERICAN HISTORY
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TWO MEN,JON ELROY SANFORD AND MALCOLM LITTLE, WHO KNEW EACH OTHER FROM BACK IN THE DAY WOULD BECOME REDD FOXX AND MALCOLM X.
ONE WOULD MAKE TELEVISION HISTORY AND ONE WOULD SHAKE UP THE WORLD TO THE POINT WHERE HIS NAME STILL STRIKES FEAR AND CURIOSITY IN THE HEARTS OF WHITE AMERICA.

JOE GILLIAM, THE FORGOTTEN STEELER
The summer of 1974 was a very pivotal moment in the life of Pittsburgh Steelers player Joe Gilliam. A NFL player strike occurred and the star quarterback, Terry Bradshaw decided to participate. So did the back up quarterback Terry Hanratty.
Gilliam didn't participate and instead he wanted to use this as a chance to stand out from the crowd.
Coach Noll had him be the starting quarterback for the preseason and the Steelers did well. Even Bradshaw had to admit Gilliam was doing extremely well. He was even featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
More Black people started going to Steeler games Just to watch him play.
During this time Gilliam, like many Black athletes before and after him received hate mail, death threats and people thought he felt entitled.
Unfortunately Gilliam playing was a little inconsistent and Bradshaw still had the backing of the other players.
So in October, after six weeks as being the starter, Coach Noll decided to bench him and Bradshaw got his job back as starting quarterback.
A few months later Bradshaw would led the Steelers to their first Superbowl win.
Gilliam became depressed. Wouldn't anybody ? Unfortunately he turned to drugs and less than two years later at the age of 25 he was cut from the team.
While Gilliam was struggling with drug addition, the loss of his family, and his home, Bradshaw led the Steelers to three more championships.
In 2000 he, along with other former teammates attended the final game at Three Rivers Stadium. After being on drugs for twenty years he told his former teammates he had been sober for the past three years. People said he looked great and he had a training camp of over 80 kids and since it went well he was planning another. He was also looking into becoming a high school or college coach.
That never happened. Just a short time later, on Christmas Day he died. He was 49 years old. Relatives thought he may have died of a heart attack but the corner determined cause of death was an accidental cocaine overdose.
A few years prior to his death his father, who was a a former college football and basketball coach was able to recover his son's Superbowl rings with the help of fans and friends. He was waiting to give them to his son when he thought he was ready.
Unfortunately that time never came. Gilliam was survived by his father (he passed away in 2012), his wife, three daughters and two stepsons.
Gilliam's story is like a lot of other stories you hear about athletes. He'll probably be remembered for his drug addition but in 1974, for just a brief moment he was a shiny star.

BLACK HISTORY: TWO WOMEN AND A WHITE BIKINI
TESSA
I must admit the name Tessa Prendergast isn't familiar to me at all. I actually stumbled upon her name while looking up Black actors and actresses.
Tessa was a Jamaican actress who was born in 1928. She was also a businesswoman, and fashion designer.
Towards the end of the 1950's with approximately 4 films and a divorce under her belt she decided to leave acting behind and become a fashion designer. She started a clothing design business with Liz de Lisser in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
In 1962 something normal happened but it would later turn into movie history.
That year a low budget movie called Dr. No was being filmed. It was the first James Bond film.
An unknown Swiss actress, Ursula Andress arrived in Jamaica for filming but costumes weren't ready. The producers asked Tessa for help. She designed a belted white bikini that would fit Ursula's body like a glove.
The scene in the film when Ursula comes out of the ocean wearing the bikini made movie history. Back then not that many women wore bikinis so some consider that one scene as the beginning of the sexual revolution.
Ursula herself has stated: "This bikini made me into a success. As a result of starring in Dr. No as the first Bond girl, I was given the freedom to take my pick of future roles and to become financially independent."
Halle Berry wore a similar bikini, an orange one, in the 2002 James Bond film, Die Another Day to pay homage to the famous white bikini from the first Bond film.
But even Halle Berry can't compete with the original !
Tessa would later get married again and move back to London. In the 1970’s she owned a private members only drinking club and continued to run it until she died on July 9th 2001.
Ironically the same year she died her famous white bikini was auctioned off at the famous Christie’s auction house.
Sadly, with Tessa, as with the case of a lot of black people in Hollywood, if you’re not super famous who may disappear from movie history to the point where only bits and pieces of your life are found on the internet.
But the next time you watch that bikini scene from Dr. No remember it was a "Sistah" that made it all possible!
Films Starring Tessa :
- Song of Paris, a/k/a Bachelor in Paris (1952)
- His Majesty O'Keefe (1954)
- Helen of Troy (1956)
- Manfish (1956)
