Picture this: a white junior college on Sand Mountain, Alabama, in the early 1970s; a directive to integrate the basketball team; a faculty, staff and administration which, by and large, did not support this endeavor; and a community known for its segregationist violence and KKK activity. This is the situation into which a young Bill Elder, a future inductee into the NAIA Basketball Coaches' Hall of Fame, cautiously brought several black players. Things went well the first year; but unbeknownst to Elder, the community's white supremacist anger bubbled just under the surface. Soon, the team would face numerous threats, racial slurs and epithets, a mob attack on a team bus, a gang showing up at the college gym on a scheduled game night to "make things clear," and a house set to blow up upon entry-as well as anonymous phone calls suggesting Elder was on a "hit list." In the midst of all of this, Elder, with wisdom beyond his years-for which he credits God-led his team of young men unscathed through a two-year period of unbelievable obstacles intended to generate fear and intimidation. And they won on the court, too. Learn more at the All Guts and No Glory book page from NewSouth Books. |
