Grandfather of Black Basketball: The Life and Times of Dr. E B Henderson
Edwin Bancroft Henderson, II
“The Grandfather of Black Basketball is a very detailed, impassioned, and compelling biography that is essential reading for anyone interested in Edwin Bancroft Henderson and the larger civil rights struggle and role of sport during the first half of the twentieth century and beyond. Tracing his earliest days in Washington, DC, through his last years in Tuskegee, Alabama, the book makes clear Henderson’s extraordinary versatility, influence, and commitment to social justice as a physical educator, administrator, community activist, and chronicler of African American athletes.”
— David K. Wiggins, author of More than a Game: A History of the African American Experience in Sport
