He was the first Black player, coach, manager, referee, and franchise owner in otherwise white leagues.

His true legacythe assist he gave the Dodgers in finding a home for their first Black players in the US and the full integration of all major league sports that soon followedhas only recently been rediscovered. Covering his entire sporting career and major league legacy, this biography shows how Lew persevered and triumphed over adversity to provide a shining example for those who would later integrate all of sports. | Chris Boucher Harry "Bucky" Lew : A Biography of Basketball's First Black
