Show Notes
Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss a memoir that acts as a call to action about access for all communities to sports opportunities. Adam Lazarre-White delivers Arshay Cooper’s emotional and impressive true story of joining the first Black high school rowing team in the country in the 1990s. Cooper and his teammates create something great while navigating gang conflict, poverty, addiction, and systemic racism. A brand new documentary looks at this team’s success, and this audiobook makes for an excellent companion to the film. Published by Macmillan Audio.
