How Abe Saperstein Shook Up the World of Sports

Beschreibung

The Harlem Globetrotters weren’t from Harlem, and they didn’t start out as globetrotters. Globetrotter is the fascinating biography of Abe Saperstein, a Jewish immigrant who took an obscure group of Black basketball players from Chicago’s South Side, created the Harlem Globetrotters, and turned them into a worldwide sensation.
