Harlem Travelers

The Harlem Travelers were a “show” type basketball team of the 1960s. The Travelers were not from Harlem, but actually based out of Los Angeles, California. They were a “barnstorming” team who played throughout the United States and Canada. Many different teams were established in the 1950s and 1960s to capitalize from the popularity and success of the Harlem Globetrotters.
