They Cleared the Lane: The NBA's Black Pioneers New edition
Ron Thomas
In the first half of the twentieth century, pro basketball was tainted by racism, as African Americans were denied the opportunity to display their talents. Through in-depth interviews with players, their families, and league officials, this book tells the story of what basketball was really like for the first black NBA players.
