Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. New York Times Best Seller2015 RFK Book Awards Special Recognition2015 Lillian Smith Book Award2015 AAUP Books Committee "Outstanding" TitleWhen Strong Inside was first published ten years ago, no one could have predicted the impact the book would have on Vanderbilt University, Nashville, and the nation. What started out as a biography of Perry Wallace, the first African American basketball player in the SEC, became a catalyst for meaningful change and reconciliation between Wallace and the city that had rejected him. In this new edition, scholars of race and sports, Louis Moore and Derrick E. White provide a new foreword that places the story in the context of the study of sports and society and Maraniss provides a new concluding chapter filling readers in on how events unfolded between Strong Inside's publication in 2014 and Perry Wallace's death in 2017. Wallace entered kindergarten the year that Brown v. Board of Education upended "separate but equal." As a 12-year-old, he sneaked downtown to watch the sit-ins at Nashville's lunch counters. A week after Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, Wallace entered high school, and later saw the passage of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts. On March 16, 1966, his Pearl High School basketball team won Tennessee's first integrated state tournament--the same day Adolph Rupp's all-white Kentucky Wildcats lost to the all-black Texas Western Miners in an iconic NCAA title game. The world seemed to be opening up at just the right time, and when Vanderbilt recruited him, Wallace courageously accepted the assignment to desegregate the SEC. His experiences on campus and in the hostile gymnasiums of the Deep South turned out to be nothing like he ever imagined. When Strong Inside was first published, no one could have predicted the impact the book would have. What started out as a biography of Perry Wallace became a catalyst for meaningful change and reconciliation. This new edition provides a new foreword that places the story in the context of the study of sports and society.
