Description
"Although the Supreme Court did not reverse their 1896 decision of "separate but equal" in the Plessy v. Ferguson case until more than fifty years later, sports laid a foundation for social change long before our judicial system formally recognized the inequalities of racial separation. Integrating sports teams to include white and black athletes alike, the National Football League served as a microcosmic fishbowl of the highs and lows, the trials and triumphs, of racial integration." "In this chronicle of black NFL athletes, Charles K. Ross has given us the story of the Jackie Robinsons of American football."--Jacket.
