First National TV – CSPAN2’s BookTV

October 19, 2014

sofestCSPAN2’s BookTV was on hand to record my panel discussion at Nashville’s Southern Festival of Books. Historian Linda Wynn hosted the discussion with the New York Times’ Clay Risen (author of “Bill of the Century”) and me. Having attended the festival numerous times, it was a thrill to be on the other side of the microphone.

Here’s the link to the video: http://www.c-span.org/video/?321960-2/panel-discussion-legislating-equality-sports-society

  • “In a magnificently reported, nuanced
    but raw account of basketball and racism in the South during the 1960s, Andrew Maraniss tells the story of Perry Wallace’s struggle, loneliness, perseverance and eventual self-realization. A rare story about physical and intellectual courage that is both shocking and triumphant. ”

    Bob Woodward, Washington Post associate editor and author

Watch Andrew Maraniss talk about his inspiration to write Strong Inside, featuring archival footage of Perry Wallace in action.
