Summary:
"This book is a tribute to the style and substance of some of the greatest men you knew and some you have never heard of...Many of the men in this book can be found in historic accounts of various sports, music, or Black Hollywood, however, ...[the] goal here is to present familiar figures in a new light, and take lesser known figures beyond being more than an historical footnote." -- Introduction.
