Black jockeys like Murphy were at the top of the most popular sport in America at the end of the nineteenth century. They were internationally famous, the first African American superstar athletes--and with wins in three Kentucky Derbies and countless other prestigious races, Murphy was the greatest of them all. At the same time, he lived through the seismic events of Emancipation and Reconstruction and formative conflicts over freedom and equality in the United States. And inevitably he was drawn into those conflicts, with devastating consequences."--Dust jacket. 710 2 $a Yale University Press, $e publisher. 830 0 $a Black lives (Yale University Press) 941 $a 1 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230802011032.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E4F19C9A30F911EEB9FFDC383BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
