The story of civil rights hero Chester Pierce's game-changing role as the first Black college football player to compete south of the Mason-Dixon Line--now in paperback! In 1947, no African American player can play at a southern school; in return, the opposing team benches a player of "equal talent." This historical fiction picture book frames a turbulent time in the civil rights era with the clever use of a football play to show race relations and teamwork. Inspired by a true story, capturing a historic defense against the Jim Crow laws of the South.
