Four men broke the pro football color barrier in 1946, a year before Jackie Robinson made it to the major leagues in baseball. Yet most people know nothing about these men.

My book covers their careers and what these men faced on and off the field. It covers the concurrent civil rights activism in the 1940s, and examines why these pioneers haven’t received the attention they deserve. Published by Bloomsbury USA.
