-N.B.C. HALL OF FAME-

Continuing The Marshall “Major” Taylor Legacy
N.B.C. is proud to carry on the values and principals Marshall “Major” Taylor stood for during his life time from (1878 - 1932). As one of the first African-American athletes to win a world record championship in any sport and overcame more than his share of racism in route to becoming one of the greatest cyclists of all time, Taylor stood for sportsmanship, racial equality and a Devotion to his own spiritual beliefs . As the author of his autobiography, Major Taylor also understood the value and importance of a good education. After retiring from his cycling career in 1910, Marshall "Major" Taylor was an avid spokesman in his community on the value of living a healthy life style. To this the National Brotherhood of Cyclists salutes one of sports greatest heroes Marshall "Major" Taylor
