NPR “Only A Game” Interview

December 6, 2014

littlefieldpicThe NPR “Only A Game” Interview. Bill Littlefield has hosted a terrific sports program out of Boston’s WBUR for many years. While Perry Wallace was in Nashville earlier this week, we drove over to a recording studio on Music Row to do an interview with Bill, which is airing on many NPR stations across the country this weekend. Listen to the interview 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.
