Before Jackie Robinson: The Transcendent Role of Black Sporting Pioneers
Gems
The contributions of early black athletes to a broader collective history, and their heroic confrontations with the entrenched racism of their times, helped bring about the incremental changes that after 1945 allowed for US sports to be more fully integrated. Before Jackie Robinson details the lives of these lesser-known but important athletes within the broader history of black liberation.
