N2  - ""When Running Made History" focuses on African American sports history, and on the power of sports to advance social justice. It follows three black bunioneers--Eddie Gardner, Tobie Joseph Cotton Jr., and Sammy Robinson--as they raced across America in the 1928 bunion derby. Each runner faced the wrath of Jim Crow, as they participated in an integrated footrace in the segregated South. Kastner pays special attention to Eddie Gardner, "The Sheik of Seattle," and his evolution from a competitive runner into a warrior in the struggle for racial equality in America"--
