Spoiler alert I haven't read the full book yet. Like I do with most things , upon receiving my copy I scanned it for Gopher related content. U of M fans won't be disappointed. White talks at length about the history of African Americans at the U, from Andrew Hilyer the first black student to graduate in 1882, to the great Bobby Marshall, all the way to Dave Winfield.
Obviously the book focuses on the history of African American Baseball in our state but he really does a interesting job of talking on broader topics. For example I really enjoyed reading his take on the Morrill Hall take over at the U of M in 1969 and it's relationship to sports at the school.
