There Was No Golden Age of Sport for African American Athletes.
Smith, Earl
Society, v37 n3 p45-48 Mar-Apr 2000
Disagrees with Harry Edwards' belief about a golden age in sports for African Americans, asserting that the golden age never existed for them. Suggests that Edwards' research does not thoroughly examine the new African American athlete and ignores the issue that the unfulfilled promise of riches and glory requires a larger socioeconomic and political perspective. Notes the underrepresentation of African Americans in athletic coaching and management. (SM)
