My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thought provoking historical and economic analysis of the black athlete in American history. The author has the viewpoint that the black athlete also has a responsibility for further advancement of the African American community. He analysis of the college and pro athletic system reflects on the exploitation of labor and the exclusion of the African American athlete from ownership and power to affect his destiny and his community
