basketball
Description:
1 volume (unpaged) : chiefly color illustrations ; 27 cm.
Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
Today, the NBA is around 74%
Black
but, when
basketball
first started to catch on, it wasn't easy for
Black
people to play. They couldn't enter segregated YMCAs or attend privileged colleges. So
Black
Americans made their own spaces, playing in dance halls before the dancing started, and eventually forming teams called the
Black
Fives.
More
than
Just
a
Game
celebrates the history of
basketball
from a
Black
perspective, revealing how it changed
Black
communities and how they made the sport into what it is today.
