    Praise

    Praise for Go Up for Glory: 
    “A half-century after its first publication, Glory remains one of the best books of its ilk, an enthralling snapshot of its era that serves as a reminder of not only how much basketball has changed, but also how much the rest of the world hasn’t. Russell was unflinching in his description of the racism he encountered growing up in Louisiana and Oakland…Still, [he] found a measure of hope.”—Sports Illustrated
