"This is the story of perhaps the greatest University of Washington Husky football team ever-and arguably, one of the top college football teams of all time. The 1991 Huskies, helmed by legendary coach Don James, chalked up a 12-0 record and won the Rose Bowl. They outscored opponents by an average of 31 points per game and the team included no less than 25 future NFL players. Alongside the Miami Hurricanes, the Huskies were recognized as national cochampions. How did a team built on contradictions-with an old-school coach, noted for his traditional approach, and a team of notably rambunctious players-make it work? Drawing on dozens of new interviews with athletes, coaching staff, and more, Seattle sports journalist Mike Gastineau tells a lively story of the unexpected twists of an epic season. Packed with never-before-told stories, his research offers new insider perspectives on iconic plays, outsized personalities, and an unusual set of team dynamics that led to one perfect season"--

When he was seventeen, Sam Kelly met Paul Robeson, who asked him, "What are you doing for the race?" That question became a challenge to the young Kelly and inspired him to devote his life to helping others. Sam Kelly's story intersects with major developments in twentieth-century African American history, from the rich culture of the Harlem Renaissance and the integration of the U.S. Army to the civil rights movement and the political turmoil of the 1960s. Kelly recounts his childhood in Greenwich, Connecticut, and his visits to Harlem. He describes his rise from army private to second lieutenant between 1944 and 1945, his bitter encounters with racism while wearing his army uniform in the South, his participation in the U.S. occupation of Japan, and his role in the desegregation of the army in 1948. In his rise to colonel, Kelly was a training and operations officer who helped create the post-Korean War rapid-response deployment army that would later fight in Vietnam and Iraq. As an educator, Dr. Sam earned the respect of the Black Panthers who took his African American history courses. In 1970, he became the first vice president for the Office of Minority Affairs and the first major African American administrator at the University of Washington. For six years, he led one of the strongest programs in the nation dedicated to integrating students of color at a major university. After retiring from the University of Washington at the age of sixty-five, Dr. Sam continued his work for black Americans by beginning a new career as a teacher and administrator at an alternative high school in Portland, Oregon. This remarkable book shares the difficulties in his personal life, including the birth of his special needs son, Billy; the unsuccessful struggle of his wife, Joyce, against breast cancer; and the challenges facing an interracial family. Before he died in 2009, he was proud to witness the election of Barack Obama as the first African American president, a fulfillment of his lifelong dream that the nation would recognize the rights and dignity of all citizens.
