520 Storytelling is one of the oldest, yet most provocative
human art forms. It allows us to learn through the
illustration and presentation of events as they happened
in real time, through the words of those who participated,
allowing the reader to understand and recognize the
unvarnished truth. As a means of education and learning,
it is innately valuable. Speaking of race and racism, it
allows us to underscore our values and principles of
social justice. It allows the participants to express
their insights and knowledge through their actual
experiences. The author has done just that with Race,
Politics, and Basketball - a fascinating story of race,
racism, politics, education, and inequality in the early
1970s, told through the voices of those who were there,
who witnessed it and were a part of it. It provides the
juxtaposition of good and decent white kids with an
unparalleled mentor who kept them on the straight and
narrow, against good and decent Black and Cape Verdean
kids who were forced to face the daily forces of
inequality and racial unrest each and every day. The
summer of 1970 was immensely educational for all who
experienced it. The Vietnam War, the civil rights
movements, Black Panthers, a long, dreary recession with
high unemployment - all explained through the voices of
white and Black kids and adults who were there, in New
Bedford, Massachusetts, living through it, and navigating
the ebbs and fl ows of their daily lives. In the middle of
it all, a 17 year old Cape Verdean kid, standing outside a
club in the city's West End, during a period of unrest,
was gunned down by three white kids from the suburbs. They
didn't even know him. To top it off, they were all
acquitted at trial, despite the fact that the guy who shot
the gun confessed to it. The book tells a fascinating
story of inequality, race, and politics that can help us
understand the struggles that we are still going through
today, as we try to understand and reconcile our
differences, and treat everyone as equals. Anyone
interested in the issue of race and racism in America
today should read this story. Gerry Kavanaugh is the
Senior Vice Chancellor at the University of Massachusetts
Dartmouth. He was the Chief of Staff to Senator Edward M.
Kennedy in Washington, DC, and now lives in New Bedford
with his wife, Colleen.
