Breaking the Line: The Season in Black College Football That Transformed the Sport and Changed the Course of Civil Rights
By Samuel G. Freedman (trade paperback)

“Samuel G. Freedman has located the time when segregation ruled football and then when everything changed… In Breaking the Line, Freedman explains how the struggle for racial equality in sports – and American society more generally – remains unfinished….[Freedman] has captured a critical, and overlooked, moment in history.” -Chicago Tribune

“Call it the year’s boldest subtitle… but Breaking the Live succeeds in making a compelling argument that the 1967 season was indeed that significant.” -Sports Illustrated
