Strong Inside Featured on WNSR

July 26, 2014

Strong Inside was the focus of the full-hour of WNSR’s Saturday morning show devoted to Vanderbilt sports. Host Tim Scott and two of his interns led a conversation in which we touched on everything from the civil rights activities in Nashville during the 1960s, to Perry’s style of play, to his treatment on the road.

  • “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.
