Du Bois' Souls of Black Folk, in which he declared that ""the color line"" would be the problem of the twentieth century. Half a century later, Jackie Robinson would display his remarkable athletic skills in ""baseball's great experiment."" Now, Sport and the Color Line takes a look at the last century through the lens of sports and race, drawing together articles by many of the leading figures in Sport Studies to address the African American experience and the history of race relations.The history o 606 $aRacism in sports$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican American athletes$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDiscrimination in sports$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aRacism in sports$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican American athletes$xHistory 615 0$aDiscrimination in sports$xHistory 676 $a796/.089/96073 701 $aMiller$b Patrick B$01479243 701 $aWiggins$b David Kenneth$f1951-$01463083 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784428403321 996 $aSport and the color line$93695283 997 $aUNINA
