This book is needed to help guide the conversation around ways to
address the great disparities that impact African American males in
intercollegiate athletics. In particular, scholars and
practitioners have grappled with issues surrounding the climate and
opportunities presented to African American males as
student-athletes and coaches. Yet, there has not been a single text
dedicated to identifying issues pertaining to the success and
pitfalls of Black males not just as student-athletes, but also as
coaches, administrators, and academic support staff in
intercollegiate athletics. By addressing such topics as the
economic realities of athletic competition, academic achievement,
mental health, job opportunities, and identity, a new discourse
will emerge on the role of African American males in college
sports. This work will revisit old issues and explore the new
complexities surrounding Black males in the realm of athletics in
higher education with the purpose of improving their plight.
A detailed history of our particular branch of Grahams descending
from the Lower Mearns of Kincardineshire Scotland. It traces
Grahams and extended relatives from Scotland to America, Canada,
New Zealand and Australia. And even yet, there are gaps, mysteries
and loose threads that may yet yield other relations to the
earliest Grahams in and around St. Cyrus parish on the north east
coast of Scotland. While there are only 166 Grahams in our family
tree, their history and dispersion from the lower Mearns offers
engaging insights into the hard lives that must have existed in the
18th and 19th centuries.
