In the 1960s and 1970s, sports saw an unprecedented wave of protest, led by Black athletes like Jim Brown, Billie Jean King, and Muhammad Ali, who fought for greater equality and freedom. Gregory J. Kaliss' book explores these events and their impact on sports and society.

In the face of unequal opportunity, Jim Brown embarked on a remarkable journey to promote Black development. Meanwhile, Billie Jean King fought tirelessly to secure greater financial rewards and greater freedom for women tennis players. Gregory J. Kaliss delves into these events and others to guide readers through the unprecedented wave of protest that swept sports in the 1960s and 1970s. The lesser-known story of the University of Wyoming football players suspended for their activism sheds light on an analysis of protests by college athletes. The 1971 Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier clash serves as a prominent example of Black male athletes' efforts to redefine Black masculinity. An in-depth exploration of the American Basketball Association reveals a league that prioritized Black culture through its unique style of play and its profound influence on the development of hip-hop. As Kaliss highlights the achievements of these athletes, he also uncovers the barriers that persisted, and in some cases, continue to exist today.
