Description
This book tells the true story of eighteen African American athletes who competed in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. They were originally torn between boycotting the Olympic Games in Nazi Germany or participating. But in competing, they defied the racism of anti-Semitism, Aryan superiority, and the Jim Crow South.
