Major by Todd Balf was a great read of how a young man born in an ultra racist time was able to stay true and become the fastest cyclist in the world. It is really interesting how he was received in other countries contrasting that to the United States. Anybody who doesn't believe in white privilege should read this book and have their blind eyes openned.
