But while we know the stories of trailblazers like Jackie Robinson and Billie Jean King, just as important are the journeys of lesser-known athletes who used sports as a platform to fight injustice, racism, and discrimination. In Remember Their Sacrifice: Stories of Unheralded Athletes of Color, Arif Khatib and Pete Elman share the extraordinary stories of a special group of athletes, of their struggles, achievements, and incredible impact on the world of sports and beyond. It includes Pumpsie Green, the first Black player for the Red Sox; Alice Coachman, the first Black woman to win an Olympic gold medal; Sammy Lee, the great Asian American diver who won Olympic gold; Toni Stone and Mamie “Peanut” Johnson, two of three women who played in baseball’s Negro Leagues; Billy Mills, a Native American icon who won Olympic gold in the 10,000 meters; and many more. Featuring an array of sports such as boxing, track and field, golf, auto racing, basketball, football, soccer, and baseball, Remember Their Sacrifice elevates these pioneering athletes to their deserved position in the pantheon of sports.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Pete Elman, Arif KhatibContributor: Dave Zirin (Foreword by)Genre: HistoryItem Width: 19mmItem Weight: 458gTopic: Society & Culture, Social Sciences, Biography, Sports & HobbiesRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
