HARD ROAD TO GLORY, VOLUME 2 (1919-1945) A History of the African American Athlete, Book 2

This deep dive into African American athletic greats, written by the late tennis star Arthur Ashe, is a who's who of both well-known and under-the-radar names in American sports. Landon Woodson narrates the chronology that moves listeners sport by sport--from baseball to basketball to football, track, boxing, and more. Woodson steadily guides listeners through the encyclopedic approach with his consistently clear voice. His pronunciations are spot-on, and he doesn't attempt to imitate the speakers of dialogue. Listeners may gain an awareness of some athletes they're not familiar with. M.B. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
