Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Tom Graham and Rachel Graham Cody have done a masterful job of writing a book that will be enjoyed by anyone with either an interest in basketball or an interest in what transpired in the civil rights movement after World War II. If the reader like myself has an interest in both subjects then this book will be among the most interesting books written on the subjects. Written by highly educated and intelligent people the authors have approached the subject with diligence, energy, and passion. While nearly every sports fan knows of Jackie Robinson, few people know of Bill Garrett and his journey from a segregated grammar school in a small Indiana town to national acclaim as an All American at Indiana University. I loved this book.
