This is the inspiring story of an African American whose athletic and entrepreneurial achievements—from being the first Black quarterback and head coach in the National Football League to founding one of the first all-Black investment securities companies—were equaled by his courage in confronting racial barriers.

John M. Carroll is Regents' Professor of History at Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas.

J.D. Jackson is a classically trained actor, a theater professor, an aspiring stage director, and an award-winning audiobook narrator. His television and film credits include roles on House, ER, Law & Order, Hack, Sherrybaby, Diary of a City Priest, and Lucky Number Slevin. The recipient of several audiobook awards for narration and an Odyssey Honor for G. Neri's Ghetto Cowboy, he was named one of AudioFile's Best Voices of the Year for 2012 and 2013.
