The Revolt of the Black Athlete

Harry Edwards · 2017 · 225 pages

By Harry Edwards, with a foreword by Samuel J. Skinner, Jr. 203 pages including Index and poem as last unpaginated page by don . lee. No ISBN. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 70-85475. From an Amazon reader review: " The book is outstanding and helps you understand how major universities treated "black" athletes prior to the '70's. It deals with a revolution that many in the mainstream tried to dismiss and the climax came during the 1968 Olympic Games, and the iconic sketch of Tommy Smith and John Carlos give voice to athletes across the world to use their only voice in bringing justice.....Their athletic ability."
