Harry "Bucky" Lew leapt over pro basketballs color wall in 1902 and continued to integrate every single role in the game over the next 25 years. He was the first Black player, coach, manager, referee, and franchise owner in otherwise white leagues. While his accomplishments were well documented in the newspapers of his day, Lew has largely been forgotten. Why? His true legacythe assist he gave the Dodgers in finding a home for their first Black players in the US and the full integration of all major league sports that soon followedhas only recently been rediscovered. Covering his entire sporting career and major league legacy, this biography shows how Lew persevered and triumphed over adversity to provide a shining example for those who would later integrate all of sports.
