Follow Chester! : a college football team fights racism and makes history
(Book)

"Chester Pierce plays football for Harvard--the only African American member of the starting lineup. A big game at the University of Virginia is coming up. But back in 1947 there's an unwritten rule in college football: Northern schools don't bring black players to games in the South. And Southern schools bench a white player of equal talent in return. In the South, Jim Crow laws keep black and white people separate. The Harvard coach decides that it's time things change. He tells UVA he's bringing Chester . . . Together, the team makes history. Chester becomes the first black player to compete in an intercollegiate football game south of the Mason-Dixon line"--Dust jacket.
