Knopf, $c 2018. 300 $a viii, 420 pages : $b illustrations ; $c 25 cm 520 $a "From the author of the best-selling The Butler--an emotional, inspiring story of two teams from a poor, black, segregated high school in Ohio, who, in the midst of the racial turbulence of 1968/1969, win the Ohio state baseball and basketball championships in the same year. 1968 and 1969: Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy are assassinated. Race relations are frayed like never before. Cities are aflame as demonstrations and riots proliferate. But in Columbus, Ohio, the Tigers of segregated East High School win the baseball and basketball championships, defeating bigger, richer, whiter teams across the state. Now, Wil Haygood gives us a spirited and stirring account of this improbable triumph and takes us deep into the personal lives of these local heroes: Robert Wright, power forward, whose father was a murderer; Kenny Mizelle, the Tigers' second baseman, who grew up under the false impression that his father had died; Eddie 'Rat' Ratleff, the star of both teams, who would play for the 1972 U.S. Olympic basketball team. We meet Jack Gibbs, the first black principal at East High; Bob Hart, the white basketball coach, determined to fight against the injustices he saw inflicting his team; the hometown fans who followed the Tigers to stadiums across the state. And, just as important, Haygood puts the Tigers' story in the context of the racially charged late 1960s. The result is both an inspiring sports story and a singularly illuminating social history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 610 20 $a East High School (Columbus, Ohio) $x History. 650 0 $a Basketball $z Columbus $z Columbus $x History. 650 0 $a Baseball $z Columbus $z Columbus $x History. 651 0 $a Columbus (Ohio) $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a Columbus (Ohio) $v Biography. 650 7 $a SPORTS & RECREATION / Baseball / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SPORTS & RECREATION / Basketball. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Baseball. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00827904 650 7 $a Basketball. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00828203 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 651 7 $a Ohio $z Columbus. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205076 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 12 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710042421.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202024557.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207014746.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909052006.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728013200.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060125.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20190606010502.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20190328021406.0 952 $l SXPC124 $d 20190126011748.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20181127010658.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20181115010457.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20181016010558.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=42B85FE8BB0811E882B6F0FC96128E48 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
