A sociological history of African-American athletics, and how the community has basically been undermined repeatedly by white ownership/power structures. Really interesting, infuriating, and I didn't realize I had so much love for baseball/football history in me as I apparently do! But someone needs to make a Jackie Robinson movie. Oh wait - they did.
