The Rhythm Boys of Omaha Central: High School Basketball at the '68 Racial DivideIn the spring of 1968, the Omaha Central High School basketball team made history with its first all black starting lineup. Their nickname, the Rhythm Boys, captured who they were and what they did on the court. Led by star center Dwaine Dillard, the Rhythm Boys were a shoo in to win the state championship. But something happened on their way to glory. In early March, segregationist George Wallace, in a third party presidential bid, made a campaign
In the spring of 1968, the Omaha Central High School basketball team made history with its first all-black starting lineup. Their nickname, the Rhythm Boys, captured who they were and what they did on the court. Led by star center Dwaine Dillard, the Rhythm Boys were a shoo-in to win the state championship. But something happened on their way to glory. In early March, segregationist George Wallace, in a third-party presidential bid, made a campaign stop in Omaha. By the time he left town, Dillard was in jail, his coach was caught between angry political factions, and the city teetered on the edge of racial violence. So began the Nebraska state high school basketball tournament the next day, caught in the vise of history. The Rhythm Boys of Omaha Central tells a true story about high school basketball, black awakening and rebellion, and innocence lost in a watershed year. The drama of civil rights in 1968 plays out in this riveting social history of sports, politics, race, and popular culture in the American heartland.Binding Type: Paperback

High-quality, high-value
Color: Black, Size: Fits Desk Leg: 80mm(D) x 50mm(W)
I was looking for something similar for my Uplift Desk for a long time, and gave up until I built a new computer and had a reason to resume the search. Seriously, this desk mount is top-tier; I'm coming out of a long drought to review this product.
The build quality, strength and stability is impressive, and assembly is easy. I'm confident that the stand could hold my body weight, let alone a computer. The appearance of the finish is high-quality, and color matches the coated steel frame of the Uplift desk flawlessly.
In terms of possible areas of improvement, I'd love to see a tighter vertical fitment of the top bracket's sliding arm, and I'd love if there were more rubber anti-slip pads and spacers of different shapes and sizes included. I ended up double-stacking the anti-slip pads, using superglue to adhere them to each other, to give my PC more breathing room on its underside.
I'd also love to have the option to select different sizes of base plates.

Great Quality Product
Color: Black, Size: Fits Desk Leg: 80mm(D) x 50mm(W)
Great quality and product was easy to assemble. Works perfectly for my sit/stand desk and precisely what I needed to get my desktop off the ground and to have it feel out of the way.

Sturdy mount
Color: Black, Size: Fits Desk Leg: 80mm(D) x 50mm(W)
Great product, very sturdy. no doubt I trust this mount/adapter to hold my 50lb PC.
Installation instructions were a little lacking in explaining what to do with the small black rubber pieces. Also, I feel it is very important to ensure the bracket is level before mounting the product - especially if you have a HDD inside your computer.
Nothing to knock a star off for.

Fantastic when paired with FLEXISPOT desk!
Color: White, Size: Fits Desk Leg: 80mm(D) x 50mm(W), Color: White, Size: Fits Desk Leg: 80mm(D) x 50mm(W)
I've got this to get my gaming PC off the floor, but keep it off the desk. It delivers. It fit my FLEXISPOT EC1 Electric White Standing Desk perfectly. This PC is 39lbs and there's no sign of it slipping or sagging under the weight as the base is sturdy. The top bracket isn't perfect for this uniquely size case. It installed in <5 minutes start to finish. I used an electric hammer-drill and it cinched up the proviced T-25 screws with ease. For me there's very little that I would change except for the top support bracket arm being slightly different sized.
