By Harry Edwards, with a foreword by Samuel J. Skinner, Jr. 203 pages including Index and poem as last unpaginated page by don . lee. No ISBN. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 70-85475. From an Amazon reader review: " The book is outstanding and helps you understand how major universities treated "black" athletes prior to the '70's. It deals with a revolution that many in the mainstream tried to dismiss and the climax came during the 1968 Olympic Games, and the iconic sketch of Tommy Smith and John Carlos give voice to athletes across the world to use their only voice in bringing justice.....Their athletic ability."

The Revolt of the Black Athlete hit sport and society like an Ali combination. This Fiftieth Anniversary edition of Harry Edwards's classic of activist scholarship arrives even as a new generation engages with the issues he explored. Edwards's new introduction and afterword revisit the revolts by athletes like Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Tommie Smith, and John Carlos. At the same time, he engages with the struggles of a present still rife with racism, double-standards, and economic injustice. Again relating the rebellion of black athletes to a larger spirit of revolt among black citizens, Edwards moves his story forward to our era of protests, boycotts, and the dramatic politicization of athletes by Black Lives Matter. Incisive yet ultimately hopeful, The Revolt of the Black Athlete is the still-essential study of the conflicts at the interface of sport, race, and society.

King of the Court: Bill Russell and the Basketball Revolution

Bill Russell was not the first African American to play professional basketball, but he was its first black superstar. From the moment he stepped onto the court of the Boston Garden in 1956, Russell began to transform the sport in a fundamental way, making him, more than any of his contemporaries, the Jackie Robinson of basketball. In King of the Court, Aram Goudsouzian provides a vivid and engrossing chronicle of the life and career of this brilliant champion and courageous racial pioneer. Russell’s leaping, wide-ranging defense altered the game’s texture. His teams provided models of racial integration in the 1950s and 1960s, and, in 1966, he became the first black coach of any major professional team sport. Yet, like no athlete before him, Russell challenged the politics of sport. Instead of displaying appreciative deference, he decried racist institutions, embraced his African roots, and challenged the nonviolent tenets of the civil rights movement. This beautifully written book―sophisticated, nuanced, and insightful―reveals a singular individual who expressed the dreams of Martin Luther King Jr. while echoing the warnings of Malcolm X.

"The production of the first Morris motor car in 1913 introduced a marque into British motoring history which was to survive until 1983. Within a short period William Morris had utilized the car chassis as a basis for a small van - the first Morris Commercial." "Facilities to manufacture larger commercials became available in 1923, and the formation of Morris Commercial Cars Limited in 1924 opened up a new market. In the following years many variations of Morris Commercials were introduced, and by the outbreak of the Second World War the company had produced heavy lorries, tractor units, single- and double-decker buses, taxis, ambulances, and most of the motorized vehicles for the British Army. The outbreak of hostilities saw Morris Commercial production switched to the manufacture of such items as tanks, bren-gun carriers and military vehicles." "The amalgamation of Morris with its major rival, Austin, in 1952, to form the British Motor Corporation heralded an inevitable move towards rationalization, and in 1968 the 'Morris' name on the Commercials finally disappeared in favour of the 'BMC' badge." "Here for the first time is a unique collection of over 150 photographs tracing the proud and fascinating history of Morris Commercials. Each remarkable illustration recaptures the attention to individual requirements and lack of uniformity in design so marvellously evocative of the period. This is complemented by the text which provides both absorbing detail for the enthusiast and interesting facts for the general reader."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
