The Genma Holmes Interview

October 4, 2014

Strong Inside Book CoverGenma Holmes launched a monthlong series on “Strong Inside” this morning with an interview we taped a few weeks ago. Later installments in the series will include interviews with Perry Wallace, other figures in the book, and many others with a connection to the subject matter. Genma read the book in great detail and had multiple passages circled, making for an incredibly fun discussion. Check out the audio here.

  • “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.
