African American icons of sport

This volume offers an examination of African Americans in sports, from a variety of perspectives. It explores the history and lives of complex, multi-layered personages and groups. Also examined is the extent to which modern mass media and popular culture have contributed greatly to the rise, and sometimes fall, of these powerful symbols of athletic, individual, and group excellence.
