The Pigskin Club of Washington is an American sports organization based in the District of Columbia. Founded in 1938 by Dr. Charles B. Fisher, a former football player at Howard University,[1] it is one of the oldest African American sports clubs in the country.[2]
The organization's stated goals were "improving relationship between persons interested in the game of football; that there may be given encouragement for good, clean sport; that there may be a more perfect understanding among such persons; and, that there may be mutual benefits and pleasures derived from such association."
