The story of Elgin Baylor, basketball icon and civil rights
advocate, from an all-star team  Hall-of-famer Elgin Baylor
was one of basketball’s all-time-greatest players—an innovative
athlete, team player, and quiet force for change. One of the first
professional African-American players, he inspired others on and
off the court. But when traveling for away games, many hotels and
restaurants turned Elgin away because he was black. One night,
Elgin had enough and staged a one-man protest that captured the
attention of the press, the public, and the NBA. Above the Rim is a
poetic, exquisitely illustrated telling of the life of an
underrecognized athlete and a celebration of standing up for what
is right.
