Synopsis
"Unlike baseball, football did not have a thunderclap moment like the arrival of Jackie Robinson at Ebbets Field. Instead, the game started out as the most egalitarian of American sports, reversed course during the Great Depression when the NFL purged its few black players and then slowly reintegrated after World War II. Even then, the sport needed another three decades before owners, coaches and fans looked at players based on their ability, rather than their complexion. The Color of Sundays tells this uniquely American story by tracing the life story of Bill Nunn Jr."--Amazon.
