Facing Racism
Due to the American desegregation busing policy, Magic Johnson attended a predominantly white high school called Everett. Sadly, he faced a lot of racism, even on the basketball court. At times, his teammates wouldn’t even pass him the pass! They would ignore him, and he often got into fights with other players. Eventually, he accepted it and he now sees this as one of the best things that he experienced.
