Curt Flood in the Media: Baseball, Race, and the Demise of the Activist-Athlete - Race, Rhetoric, and Media Series
Abraham Iqbal Khan
Examines the public discourse surrounding Curt Flood, the star center fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals throughout the sixties. In 1969, Flood was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. By examining the mainstream press, the black press, and primary sources, including Flood's autobiography, Khan exposes the complexities of what it means to be a prominent black American athlete - in 1969 and today.
