"African Americans and Latino Americans have played an increasingly significant role in the ongoing saga of American sports - and not just in popular sports like basketball and baseball. This is the first comprehensive, multisport biographical resource to concentrate exclusively on the accomplishments, achievements, and personal struggles of notable African American and Latino American athletes of the last quarter century." "A total of 175 important contemporary athletes - 113 African Americans and 62 Latino Americans - are profiled. Most made significant contributions to their sport since 1990." "Eighteen sports, from baseball to bobsledding, are covered. The profiles of the men and women include personal background information and athletic career achievements through 2002. Each athletic career is traced, including entrance into sport, major accomplishments, records set, awards and honors, and overall impact. Quotations from the athletes enrich each profile. Bibliographies and photos complement the entries."--BOOK JACKET.
