More than a Game discusses how African American men and women
sought to participate in sport and what that participation meant to
them, the African American community, and the United States more
generally. Recognizing the complicated history of race in America
and how sport can both divide and bring people together, the book
chronicles the ways in which African Americans overcame racial
discrimination to achieve success in an institution often described
as America's only true meritocracy. African Americans have often
glorified sport, viewing it as one of the few ways they can achieve
a better life. In reality, while some African Americans found fame
and fortune in sport, most struggled just to participate - let
alone succeed at the highest levels of sport. Thus, the book has
two basic themes. It discusses the varied experiences of African
Americans in sport and how their participation has both reflected
and changed views of race.
