The powers-that-be in 1920s auto racing, namely the American
Automobile Association’s Contest Board, barred everyone who
wasn’t a white male from the sport. But Dewey Gatson, a black man
who went by the name Rajo Jack, drove into the center of
“outlaw” auto racing in California, refusing to let the
pervasive racism of his day stop him from competing against entire
fields of white drivers. In The Brown Bullet, journalist Bill
Poehler uncovers the life of a long-forgotten trailblazer and the
great lengths he took to even get on the track, showing ultimately
how Rajo Jack proved to a generation that a black man could compete
with some of the greatest white drivers of his era, winning some of
the biggest races of the day.
