The Heritage: Black Athletes, a Divided America, and the Politics of Patriotism by Howard Bryant

5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It takes a good look at the history of athletic activism, tracking it through the early 1900s to the modern day and exploring issues including changes around 9/11 and paid patriotism (which finally gave me the vocab for something that has irked me for several years). For the sport fan, the political scientist, and the everyday reader as they try to make sense of new movements.
