Parnassus Launch With Mayor Dean

November 24, 2014

parnassuscrowdThe Parnassus launch event with Mayor Dean was a rousing success, with approximately 150 people filling the popular Green Hills bookstore Nov. 19. Mayor Dean had read the book in detail and asked a series of great questions before opening the floor to the audience. Two of Perry Wallace’s sisters were in attendance for the event. Here’s video of the entire Q&A.

  • “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.
