Hence, the history of American sports is significance to those who desire to better understand American society. Especially in the topic of African American race relations in America, sports and its history have garnered great publicity and have proven to be of immense significance. During the Civil Rights era, when African American involvement in sports took a more prominent stage, the field of sports journalism itself tended to be side-lined in many of these discussions. Hence, this project aims to investigate the role sports journalism played in African American race relations in the U.S during the civil rights period. It delves into the relationships between the athletes and sport journalists and how it changed as the civil rights era progressed from the 1950s to the 1960s. In addition, this project investigates the trials and tribulations faced by African American sports journalists within the industry during the civil rights era.
