The inspirational story of African American trailblazer Kenny
Washington, the first player to reintegrate the NFL. On September
29, 1946, football star Kenny Washington made history. When he
trotted onto the field for the Los Angeles Rams, Washington broke
the color barrier in the NFL. In Walking Alone: The Untold Journey
of Football Pioneer Kenny Washington, Dan Taylor reveals
Washington's immeasurable impact on his sport and beyond. Legends
of the game hailed Washington as one of the greatest players in
football history. He was also a baseball star, and Taylor recounts
never-before-told details of the efforts to make Washington the
first Black player in big league baseball along with Jackie
Robinson. Taylor also delves into the heinous verbal and physical
abuse Washington was subjected to, his refusal to play in the
South, and how he positively impacted ignorant teammates and rivals
through his character and talent. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s,
there was no more popular athlete in Los Angeles than Kenny
Washington. Walking Alone chronicles for the first time the life
story of this trailblazing football legend.
