Choice of Colours: The Pioneering African-American Quarterbacks Who Changed the Face of Football

by John Danakas

Book Overview

Until a mere generation ago, black football players were largely unproven as quarterbacks since they were excluded from a position that demanded strategic thinking instead of brute force. So, talented players headed north, rising to stardom in Canada. John Danakas profiles the pioneering athletes who donned new team colors and changed their sport.
