    "Journalist Haygood tells a story of perseverance, courage, and breathtaking talent as he recounts, in vibrant detail, the achievements of the Tigers, a basketball and baseball team at Columbus, Ohio's inner-city East High School...[The] author creates moving portraits of the teenagers and their undaunted coaches and supporters...Haygood dramatically renders the heady excitement of each game, the tense moments of a close contest, and the exuberant--tear-jerking--wins. The inspiring story of East High's championship becomes even more astonishing in the context of endemic racism, which the author closely examines, and "the turmoil of a nation at war and in the midst of unrest," roiled by the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy. An engrossing tale of one shining moment in dark times." -- Kirkus (starred review), "Journalist Haygood tells a story of perseverance, courage, and breathtaking talent as he recounts, in vibrant detail, the achievements of the Tigers, a basketball and baseball team at Columbus, Ohio's inner-city East High School...[The] author creates moving portraits of the teenagers and their undaunted coaches and supporters...Haygood dramatically renders the heady excitement of each game, the tense moments of a close contest, and the exuberant--tear-jerking--wins.

An engrossing tale of one shining moment in dark times." -- Kirkus (starred review) "As in all his avidly read books, Haygood sets the stories of fascinating individuals within the context of freshly reclaimed and vigorously recounted African American history as he masterfully brings a high school and its community to life. This laugh-and-cry tale of rollicking and wrenching drama set to the beat of thumping basketballs and the crack of baseball bats, fast breaks and cheerleaders' chants, is electric with tension and conviction, and incandescent with unity and hope." -- Booklist (starred review) "Mr. Haygood executes a series of historical fadeaway jump shots, taking us back for extended interludes with the likes of Rev. King, Jackie Robinson, federal Judge Bobby Duncan and other civil rights catalysts...the interludes illustrate the forward leaps, staggering setbacks and relentlessly hard work toward equality in America... And then we're off on a classic sports story, as the school's basketball and baseball players take form and the teams clamber to improbable heights. Naturally, Mr. Haygood explores the forces that shaped the young men, almost all of whom grew up in fatherless families with working mothers who struggled to feed and clothe them. Like J. Anthony Lukas' Pulitzer Prize-winning 1985 book, "Common Ground" -- also focused on school segregation -- there's complexity and ambiguity throughout." -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Haygood's look at the socially turbulent atmosphere, told from the perspective of a black man coming of age at the time, is nationally relevant...it is a good story with uplifting moments of achievements by the players in spite of hardship and cultural turmoil." -- The Columbus Dispatch "'Tigerland' is about more than sports. Sports provides a plot line and characters for a conversation about race in America. [Haygood's] research and careful descriptions of the athletes and community distinguish 'Tigerland' and give it humanity. 'Tigerland' maintains relevance today because it demands that we ask what, if anything, has been resolved." -- StarTribune
    Synopsis
    Against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in recent American history, as riots and demonstrations spread across the nation, the Tigers of poor, segregated East High School in Columbus, Ohio did something no team from one school had ever done before: they won the state basketball and baseball championships in the same year. They defeated bigger, richer, whiter teams across the state and along the way brought blacks and whites together, eased a painful racial divide throughout the state, and overcame extraordinary obstacles on their road to success. In Tigerland, Wil Haygood gives us a spirited and stirring account of this improbable triumph and takes us deep into the personal lives of these local heroes. At the same time, he places the Tigers' story in the context of the racially charged sixties, bringing in such national figures as Jackie Robinson, Martin Luther King Jr., and Richard Nixon, all of whom had a connection to the teams and a direct effect on their mythical season.

        A must read if you are into people impacting lives.

        An incredible read that includes detailed information on political and social national, state and local events, plus the lives of impacted families. It does a fantastic job of describing the people and personalities of those involved in the Columbus East schools and how they impact student's and community lives, plus, obviously, the sports programs and athletes who win two state championships in the same school year. I would recommend this book to anyone!
