图书描述

This book tells the little-known story of a highly celebrated auto-racing event for African Americans, the Gold and Glory Sweepstakes. These races were held in Indiana and throughout the Midwest during the racial turbulence of the 1920s and 1930s, when the Ku Klux Klan cast a shadow over the social and political landscape of the state and region. The story is told through the eyes and emotions of Indianapolis auto mechanic Charlie Wiggins. The greatest African American driver of the era, Wiggins was known as the Negro Speed King. Set against the colourful backdrop of gangsters, bootleggers, the birth of jazz, and the early history of auto racing in the United States, "For Gold and Glory" chronicles the tragedies and triumphs of a dedicated group of individuals who overcame tremendous odds to chase their dreams.
