In this engaging book, David Marc focuses new attention on an important but sometimes overlooked, episode in the history of college football and race relations., In Leveling the Playing Field, David Marc takes us beyond the often cliche-filled lore of sports history as he artfully reconstructs a little-known but fascinating episode in the continuing struggle against racial discrimination in collegiate sports. Using a deft combination of investigative journalism and oral history, Marc tells the inspiring story of the 'Syracuse Eight,' a band of courageous young African Americans who in 1970 successfully challenged the longstanding racial inequities of a major college football program., During the heyday of Syracuse University football, in the mid-to-late 1950s and early 1960s, the team boasted of star runners Jim Brown and Heisman winner Ernie Davis and a national championship in 1959. A decade later, though, the program found itself in troubled waters when a group of African American players ('tThe Syracuse Eight') demanded change in a petition that called for starting assignments based on merit rather than race; equal academic support for both black and white players; better medical treatment for all players; and efforts to integrate the all-white coaching staff. The University didn't respond and the players boycotted spring practice in 1970, leading to the dismissal of seven of the players from the team, which only heightened racial tensions surrounding the program and Ben Schwartzwalder, its Hall of Fame coach. Interviews with the Syracuse Eight about how this episode changed their lives is central to the retelling of this long-ago tumultuous period in Syracuse football history., Leveling the Playing Field is a lesson in the costs and rewards when individuals and small groups of people stand for dignity in the face of intransigent institutions and sometimes mean-spirited authority. The story of the Syracuse Eight would not have been complete without this book., In Leveling the Playing Field, David Marc takes us beyond the often cliche-filled lore of sports history as he artfully reconstructs a little-known but fascinating episode in the continuing struggle against racial discrimination in collegiate sports. Using a deft combination of investigative journalism and oral history, Marc tells the inspiring story of the "Syracuse Eight," a band of courageous young African Americans who in 1970 successfully challenged the longstanding racial inequities of a major college football program., In 1969 eight talented African American athletes risked their athletic scholarships and likely their NFL careers by demanding an end to institutional racism at Syracuse University. Dubbed the Syracuse Eight, they boycotted and petitioned for equal treatment as white players at the school and on the field. Their actions proved to be the game changer in the insular world of college football, and their stories are finally fully told in David Marc's penetrating bio-history Leveling the Playing Field., David Marc provides an account of individuals who did not accept the status quo and made personal sacrifices in support of social change., During the heyday of Syracuse University football, in the mid-to-late 1950s and early 1960s, the team boasted of star runners Jim Brown and Heisman winner Ernie Davis and a national championship in 1959. A decade later, though, the program found itself in troubled waters when a group of African American players ("the Syracuse Eight") demanded change in a petition that called for starting assignments based on merit rather than race; equal academic support for both black and white players; better medical treatment for all players; and efforts to integrate the all-white coaching staff. The university didn't respond and the players boycotted spring practice in 1970, leading to the dismissal of seven of the players from the team, which only heightened racial tensions surrounding the program and Ben Schwartzwalder, its Hall of Fame coach. Interviews with the Syracuse Eight about how this episode changed their lives is central to the retelling of this long-ago tumultuous period in Syracuse football history., This book is a must read. If there is only one book to read this year, this is it. It will enlighten the reader about the historical, unfolding saga essentially of the appalling experiences endured and the sacrifices made to create a better future on and off the field for African American athletes and others., David Marc provides an account of individuals who did not accept the status quo and made personal sacrifices in support of social change
