Summary

"Leaving the comfort of Cheyney University, the oldest Historically Black College-University in America, where he started his college career, and transferring to an affluent Main Line University, Bo-Dean Sanders faced financial problems, homelessness, and an uncertain future; but he persevered in the face of adversity and continued reaching for the Black American dream. This book tells the story of Bo-Dean's college football journey but also his personal journey tackling issues of unconscious bias, social acceptance, race relations, and cultural identity. He realized that he and his fellow teammates didn't fit into anyone's stereotypes of them. His white teammates and roommates at Villanova University became family--and his college experiences on-and-off the field gave him the skills to build relationships with people of different races. Those skills guide Bo-Dean today."--Adapted from back cover.
