Major: A Black Athlete, A White Era, and the Fight to be the World's Fastest Human Being by Todd Balf. It's the story of Marshall Walter Taylor aka Major. I've read another bio of Mr. Taylor a long time ago. I wish that there were more African Americans in pro cycling. I think they would do well if Major is any example.
