Fists Raised: 10 Stories of Sports Star Activists (NBM Comics Biographies)

What does Mohamed Ali, the greatest boxer of all time, have in common with Megan Rapinoe, the badass pink-haired female soccer player? They achieved perfection, won medals, and lived the glory. But it is above all their raised fists, when, at a time of their envied existence, they dared to sacrifice their privileges to defend a cause greater than their status of adulated champion. Rich in authentic anecdotes, this book tells the fate of those who paved the way. That of women and men who have written the political, social, or cultural history of sport by taking a stand. Fists Raised: when sports collide with social activism!
