Triumph: The Untold Story of Perry Wallace
Documentary
Perry Wallace was the first black college athlete in the Southeast Conference. This is his story.
Overview
Whenever the phrase "breaking the color line" is used, there's a temptation to invoke Jackie Robinson's story. However, Perry Wallace, the first black college athlete in the Southeast Conference, was a mere teenager who stood all alone at center court in such hotbeds of rabid racism as Starkville, Mississippi and Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
