Description

In this fifth episode of The American Tapestry Project’s “Americans and Their Games: Sports in American History and Culture” we examine the immigrant experience in America through the lens of sports. Picking up from Part 4, we meet the rise of Jewish and Italian boxers like Max Baer and Rocky Marciano in the earlu 20th century and New Americans like Martina Navratilova, Charles Jock, and Patrick Ewing in the 21st century, as we continue to explore how sports has been an assimilationist path into American society for generations of new American immigrants.
