""The photos in this collection represent a significant part of my journalism life. Game Changers is a visual masterpiece that honors the extraordinary legacy of African American athletes who have shaped the course of history. The National Museum of African American History and Culture has curated a collection that goes beyond the game, highlighting the courage, determination, and cultural influence of these trailblazers. Each photograph tells a story of perseverance and triumph, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the moments that defined not just careers, but entire eras. This book is an essential tribute to the power of sport as a catalyst for social change, and a testament to the athletes who have inspired and uplifted generations.—William C. Rhoden, columnist for ESPN’s “Andscape,” the author of Forty Million Dollar Slaves: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of the Black Athlete and Third and a Mile, and director of the Rhoden Fellows, a training program for aspiring journalists from HBCUs
