| Born in Dabney, N.C., on Sept. 11, 1881, to Jesse and Amanda (Sneed), Matthew Bullock moved to Massachusetts with his family at the age of eight. Despite the hardships of poverty and discrimination, Bullock distinguished himself as a student athlete in the public schools in Boston and later at Everett High School in Everett, Mass., earning election as captain of the baseball, football, and track teams as a senior in 1900. Everett also served as coach of the football team, making him possibly the first African American coach as a predominantly white high school. | Born in Dabney, N.C., on Sept. 11, 1881, to Jesse and Amanda (Sneed), Matthew Bullock moved to Massachusetts with his family at the age of eight.
