Summary

In the past some athletes faced even more difficult challenges than just winning a game. They had to overcome obstacles based on their color, their gender, or their abilities. For years, blacks and women were not welcome to compete with white men in most sports. And disabled athletes have always faced barriers to success. Meet six special athletes and one special league that changed sports forever and helped open the doors to all. Book jacket.
