The Journey of the African-American Athlete (A 1996 Cable Documentary)
"A Hard Road to Glory"
Mar 7, 2020
Inspired by Arthur Ashe's three volume A Hard Road to Glory: A History of the African-American Athlete, this cable documentary from 1996 remains definitive.
The African-American athlete is today a much-loved hero in American sports. In fields as diverse as tennis, football, basketball, baseball, track and more, the men and women who led the way and those who followed have become icons the world over. But the adoration we accept today was once rejection as these athletes undertook the struggle to meet their fellow competitors on a level playing field. The road that led to this legacy of achievement is paved with the names of the famous, and many are featured here, captured in some of the finest moments in sports history. Includes boxing's Jack Johnson, Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali; basketball's Harlem Globetrotters, Dr. J and Michael "Air" Jordan; tennis stars Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe; baseball's Negro Leagues and the breakthrough of Jackie Robinson; Jesse Owens' triumph in the 1936 Olympics, and Tommie Smith's Black Panther salute of the Olympics of 1968.

When all the animals have been hunted,
When all the waters have been polluted,
When all the air is unsafe to breathe,
Only then will you discover you cannot eat money..."
