Earl Lloyd was the first black ever to play in an NBA game when he took the floor for the Washington Capitols on October 31, 1950 in Rochester, New York. Lloyd was one of three blacks to become NBA players in the 1950 season. The other two were Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton, who was signed by the New York Knicks, and Chuck Cooper, who was drafted by the Boston Celtics. Cooper debuted the night after Lloyd. Sweetwater Clifton was the 1st to sign but was actually the 3rd Black to play in the NBA. Chuck Cooper became the first black player to be drafted when he was chosen by Boston; Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton became the first to sign an NBA contract when he signed with New York, and Earl Lloyd became the first to play in an NBA regular-season game because the schedule had his Washington team opening one day before the others.

Yes, national bar associations exist in many countries to regulate and support lawyers. These organizations often set professional standards, provide resources for continuing education, and advocate for the legal profession. Examples include the American Bar Association in the United States and the Law Society in the United Kingdom.
