In 1947, the same year Jackie Robinson broke the color line in Major League Baseball, Bill Garrett integrated college basketball. By joining the basketball program at Indiana University, he broke the gentlemen's agreement that had barred black players from the Big Ten, college basketball's most important conference. This book tells his story.
