Michael Whitt

4.9/5 (19512 ratings)

Description:Around Richmond, it’s simply known as “The Classic.” From 1938 to 1979, Armstrong High and Maggie Walker High, the only two all-black high schools within the city limits, converged on the gridiron each Thanksgiving weekend as spirited rivals. Each year more and more people packed the old City Stadium, sometimes as many as thirty thousand, sometimes too many to count. They cheered as the boys fought for field position, pride and bragging rights, and when the game was over, they fought for equality in the face of segregation, prejudice and Jim Crow justice. Enjoy a view from the press box as Richmond sportswriter Michael Whitt offers a summary of every Armstrong–Walker Classic and the often volatile social and political context in which they were played. The two schools may have produced one of Virginia’s greatest prep rivalries, but they also helped shape its greatest achievement in unity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
