Vanderbilt x 4

November 25, 2014

vanderbilt-university-logoThe Vanderbilt news bureau takes a look at a book published by Vanderbilt Press, written by a Vanderbilt alum, on a Vanderbilt alum. Make sense? Good. Check out Jim Patterson’s story on Strong Inside and Perry Wallace’s return to the Nashville campus 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.
