At the age of eighteen, Aaron Joseph Moore Stovall had begun his freshman year at Xavier University of Louisiana. He had attended a few days of classes in college when the natural disaster, hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. A few weeks prior to attending college, Aaron through our church activities participated in a two day retreat entitled, "An Encounter with God." Although hurricane Katrina catapulted Aaron into overwhelming events, we believe our church retreat prepared him spiritually to go through this horrific catastrophe. Aaron stated, "I owe my life to the Lord " The experience of living in the dorm after the hurricane hit was worse than a horrible nightmare. There was no electricity, no water to take showers or to flush the toilets, and the noxious smell of sewage and gas was overwhelming. The intense heat and humidity made him feel as though he was suffocating. Aaron had heard on television about natural disasters killing people in this nation and other countries. Now, he was experiencing first hand an ordeal with one of the worst hurricanes in the history of this country. his life literally flashed before him. On the sixth day, men in boats evacuated Aaron and the other students from the dorms and transported them to a highway overpass. There everything looked like a scary movie when the world ended and a few people survived. Aaron was succumbing to despair and feeling hopeless until Reverend Jesse Jackson drove up in his car and prayed. This unbelievable experience gave him a different outlook on life. In September of 2005, after two days of being evacuated from New Orleans, Louisiana, Aaron transferred to Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. He is very grateful for thekindness and support of the staff and students at Morehouse College. "We give thanks to the Lord and proclaim His greatness to the whole world" Psalm 105: 1 (revised) Dr. Joyce M. Stovall Aaron's mother

Aware of Mr. Doby's neglect by biographers, Mr. Moore, who has been a fan of his subject ever since he heard the Doby legend, seeks to give him recognition. . . . Mr. Moore effectively uses records, interviews, and a clear narrative style to make his points (what is more persuasive in sports than an athlete's record what is more animated than public statements and their refutations ), and gives voice to some of Mr. Doby's severest critics.... "Pride Against Prejudice" is a tribute to both its author and Larry Doby

"New York Times Book RevieW"

This is an excellent biography of Larry Doby, the first black player in the American League and one of the first black managers in the major leagues. . . . Moore has done a superb job of researching Doby's life and writing about it. The book is highly recommended. "The Sporting NewS"

As the second black major league baseball player, following Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby has never received the acclaim accorded to Robinson; yet his experiences of segregation and racial invective, and his courage and ability to excel in the face of almost overwhelming circumstances, were equivalent. This fascinating biography brings to light many interesting and little-known facts concerning Doby's life and baseball career, and his contribution as a civil rights pioneer in the American League. His story is perceived as the story of the many black men who followed him into major league baseball, and who shared importantly in pioneering the integration of the sport.
