Publisher description
Despite having inadequate resources, black sports teams in West Virginia demonstrated unmatched excellence throughout the twentieth century. Such accomplishments include Bluefield State and West Virginia State's victories in the black conference and national championships and the founding of the first state-wide black high school tournament in the nation. This book chronicles sports at West Virginia's forty black high schools and three black colleges, with a particular focus on the impacts of the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision. While an important step toward equality, the path to inclusion came with many costs
