| 500 | |a The original essays in this collection examine the lives and sports of famous and not-so- famous African American men and women athletes from the nineteenth century to today. Here are twenty biographies that furnish perspectives on the changing status of these athletes and how the changes mirrored the transformation of sport, American society, and civil rights legislation. Out of the Shadows shows us athletes struggling to make it in a Jim Crow society--Jimmy Winkfield in horse racing, Marshall Taylor in bicycling, William Henry Lewis in football, and Jack Johnson--and those achieving success on an international stage while suffering segregation at home--Ora Washington (tennis), Satchel Paige, Jesse Owens, Joe Louis, Alice Coachman (track and field), and Jackie Robinson. In the twentieth century athletes saw opportunities to fight for civil rights through their performances as was the case with Althea Gibson (tennis), Wilma Rudolph, Bill Russell, Jim Brown, Muhammad Ali, and Arthur Ashe. Today's successful African American athletes, such as Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Venus and Serena Williams, deal with issues of race and celebrity culture. --From publisher's description | ||

Out of the Shadows shows us athletes struggling to make it in a Jim Crow society--Jimmy Winkfield in horse racing, Marshall Taylor in bicycling, William Henry Lewis in football, and Jack Johnson--and those achieving success on an international stage while suffering segregation at home--Ora Washington (tennis), Satchel Paige, Jesse Owens, Joe Louis, Alice Coachman (track and field), and Jackie Robinson. In the twentieth century athletes saw opportunities to fight for civil rights through their performances as was the case with Althea Gibson (tennis), Wilma Rudolph, Bill Russell, Jim Brown, Muhammad Ali, and Arthur Ashe. Today's successful African American athletes, such as Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Venus and Serena Williams, deal with issues of race and celebrity culture. --From publisher's description Sportifs noirs américains / Biographies Sportifs noirs américains / Histoire Sports / États-Unis / Histoire African American athletes fast Sports fast GAMES / Gambling / Sports bisacsh SPORTS & RECREATION / Business Aspects bisacsh SPORTS & RECREATION / Essays bisacsh SPORTS & RECREATION / History bisacsh SPORTS & RECREATION / Reference bisacsh TRAVEL / Special Interest / Sports bisacsh Geschichte African American athletes Biography African American athletes Portraits African American athletes History Sports United States History USA (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content 1\p (DE-588)1071854844 Fiktionale Darstellung gnd-content Wiggins, David Kenneth 1951- Sonstige (DE-588)133187047 oth http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=929697 Aggregator Volltext 1\p sdnb2form 20231122 DE-101 ttps://www.bib-bvb.de/rovenienzkennzeichnungen/Uebersicht.html#sdnb2form |
