Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. ix, [1], 262 pages. Illustrations. A collection of Lacy Columns. Biography. Index. Signed by Newson on the half-title page. DJ has some wear and soiling. Samuel Harold "Sam" Lacy (October 23, 1903 - May 8, 2003) was an African-American and Native American sportswriter…, reporter, columnist, editor, and television/radio commentator who worked in the sports journalism field for parts of nine decades. Credited as a persuasive figure in the movement to racially integrate sports, Lacy in 1948 became the first black member of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. In 1997, he received the J. G. Taylor Spink Award for outstanding baseball writing from the BBWAA, which placed him in the writers' and broadcasters' wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998. Moses J. Newson (February 5, 1927 - ) is an African American journalist for the Baltimore Afro-American in Baltimore, Maryland. Newson, like other African-American journalists, risked his life to report on the Civil Rights Movement. His dream was to play professional baseball. Instead, Sam Lacy became an outspoken advocate for equal opportunity, using words to pry open doors so athletes at all levels could realize their dreams. Fighting for Fairness is the account of sportswriter Sam Lacy's career-long battle to lower racial barriers in sports. Lacy spearheaded integration in major league baseball, and recognition of this achievement led to his induction into the writer's wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame on July 26, 1998. Sam Lacy's on-the-scene accounts of sports events and insider stories about legendary sports figures are unmatched. Lacy lived with sports heroes like Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby in the segregated accommodations to which they were relegated for years, despite their outstanding performances on the playing field. This extraordinary book stands as a mirror of the progress America has made in race relations during Sam Lacy's lifetime. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Jed Kirschbaum (Cover photo) (illustrator).
