Description:
Asks why sport has at times challenged the status quo with regard to race and civil rights, and at other times reinforced it. Examines how blacks broke the color barrier, and raises such issues as whether blacks were able to maintain representation in a particular sport, and whether the entrance of blacks changed the public's perception of that sport.
