This investigative report exposes what the author argues is the decades-long exploitation of African-American athletes by college and pro sports. While sports have been one avenue to fame and fortune for African Americans, there has been a price to pay. Athletes are cut off from their familiar surroundings, some universities do not provide a solid education to the athletes they exploit, and athletes soon realize that they have little say in the larger issues off the court or field. Furthermore, the media can be intrusive and distracting. Author William C. Rhoden pulls no punches--and offers a huge amount of interesting sports history--as he traces the participation of blacks in sport from the plantation to modern times, and asks whether a plantation system of a different kind is now in place.

40 Million dollar Slaves
This is an excellent book. This book is very deep. This book breaks down what has happened and is happening to African American athletes from the 1920's to present day. This book is very enlightening and I advise everyone to read it.
