Requirements: .MP3 reader, 408 MB
Overview: The powerful story of a college basketball team who carried an era’s brightest hopes – racial harmony, social mobility, and the triumph of the underdog – but whose success was soon followed by a shocking downfall.”A masterpiece of American storytelling.” (Gilbert King, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Devil in the Grove).The unlikeliest of champions, the 1949-50 City College Beavers were extraordinary by every measure. New York’s City College was a tuition-free, merit-based college in Harlem known far more for its intellectual achievements and political radicalism than its athletic prowess. Only two years after Jackie Robinson broke the Major League Baseball color barrier – and at a time when the National Basketball Association was still segregated – every single member of the Beavers was either Jewish or African American. But during that remarkable season, under the guidance of the legendary former player Nat Holman, this unheralded group of city kids would stun the basketball world by becoming the only team in history to win the NIT and NCAA tournaments in the same year.
