About This Book
Athletic Racism and Brown v. Board of Education is a well-documented, well-researched, informative piece of literature that simply provides an opportunity for the masses to distinguish between his-story (referred to as history) and our story. It provides an opportunity to prioritize education versus indoctrination, education v. mis-education, education as it relates to equalization, education that does not require desegregation, and education that will help to produce a better nation. This book allows 70 African-Americans to tell their story (straight - no chaser) so that present and future generations will have access to the actual story of Black people. This is a story that the American educational system will teachers to teach and as a result Black children go through life thinking that only a hand full of African Americans have excelled academically and athletically. The interviewees are captured in a capsule so that the masses will learn from people like Dr. Olivia Hooker what it was like to have America drop bombs on you in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and see machine guns in front of your house with American flags on top and all of the homes in your community burned simply because Black businesses had white businesses. The masses will learn from Mr. Albert Spurlock (who coached the great Oscar Robertson) how a white college like Butler University refused to give a Black high school a share of the gate when the Black high school could put more people in Butler's stadium than Butler could put in their own stadium for a basketball game. Someone may not know that Black high schools, Black colleges, and Black professional teams could beat white teams before, during, and after the 1954 Brown decision. Finally, the book gives solutions for the economic crisis in Black America and simplifies the process for attaining economic self-sufficiency.
