This book is a 'must read' for anyone who believes that sport can change the way we think about each other. [Lapchick] is a master of fact, a humanist and a philosopher who, through compelling storytelling, challenges us to overcome our society's historical inclination towards racism.
— Donna A. Lopiano, Executive director of the Women's Sports Foundation
Sports are an avenue for millions of young people in America to make the most of their physical and mental talents. But to fulfill the promise of athletics for our society, we must keep working to tear down the racial walls of arrogance and misperception that hold us all back, Lapchick's personal and optimistic book demonstrates how far we have come points us to a future in which race is no bar to achievement.
— Bill Bradley, former United States Senator
