  • I saw this entire documentary in my early twenties and never forgot it. It doesn't have any of the modern day athletes reflected in it, but none are needed. It's a gorgeous, compelling documentary. One of the best I've seen.

  • Great clip. It is stunning to see the intelligence and beauty of black athletes of years past. Modern black American athletes, specifically those in the NBA and NFL, are not properly upholding the intellectual and moral traditions of their predecessors.

  • Do you have the whole documentary?
