The Bates 7, as the protest leaders became known, took constructive action when rumors spread in the fall of 1940 that black star running back Len Bates was going to be left behind when the football team ventured down to Columbia, Missouri to play the University of Missouri Tigers. They heard that Missouri invoked the gentlemen's agreement and would not allow an interracial sporting event in Columbia. The protests grew in size, eventually numbering thousands of protesters, and impacted collegiate athletics throughout the nation. The Bates 7 protest made a significant contribution to the national civil rights movement that would follow. This is the first and only book-length account of the protests that occurred at NYU that helped to change college sports forever. It is the story of Len Bates and the seven brave students who did not compromise in their fight against Jim Crow in college football. The study is based on extensive and exclusive interviews with Len Bates and the Bates 7 and in-depth research into the movement and the era"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Bates, Leonard. 610 20 $a New York University $x History $x History $y 20th century. 610 20 $a New York University Violets (Football team) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American football players $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Student movements $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Civil rights movements $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Racism in sports $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Discrimination in sports $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a College sports $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations $y 20th century. 610 27 $a New York University. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533139 650 7 $a African American football players. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799173 650 7 $a Civil rights movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862708 650 7 $a College sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00867925 650 7 $a Discrimination in sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895130 650 7 $a Football. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00931362 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Racism in sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086664 650 7 $a Student movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01135954 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Spivey, Donald, $t Racism, activism, and integrity in college football $d Durham : Carolina Academic Press, 2021. $z 9781531021757 $w (DLC) 2021010425 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031953.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=406AB5C2072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
