Jeff Pearlman Q&A With Perry Wallace

November 26, 2014

coverAuthor Jeff Pearlman’s weekly Quaz Q&A is one of the most interesting things online. He finds interesting guests, asks them a series of thought-provoking questions, and shares the results with the world. This week, he talks to Perry Wallace about his days as the first black basketball player in the SEC, the events in Ferguson, MO, and the merits of apple cranberry oatmeal. Check it out 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
