Description
The Crimson and Gold is a comprehensive narrative detailing the struggle for integration in Athens, Georgia, in the context of highly competitive football as experienced by athletes, their fellow students, teachers, journalists, and school administrators at (predominantly White) Athens High School and (African American) Burney-Harris High School and eventually Clarke Central High School―formed after the two legacy schools were forced to merge. The proud sports traditions of two high schools―both adored by their respective communities―eventually become inextricably linked with the larger battle for equal rights during the tumultuous 1960s and early 1970s.
