40 Million dollar slaves.
40 Million dollar slaves is a new book by William Rhoden it deal w/ how sports stardom brought black athletes wealth without progress and prosperity without freedom.The book is peppered w/ historical gems and did you knows..for instance I didn't know that Jackie Robinson first intergrated professional baseball in Canada signing w/ Montreal in 1945 the Dodgers then brought his contract in 1947. The books also have a chapter on how many of todays blk athletes would rather not rock the boat instead of speaking up against social injustice more like Micheal Jordan then Ali of Jim Brown.
