African-American players  he inspired others on and off the court. But when traveling for away
games  many hotels and restaurants turned Elgin away because he was black. One night  Elgin had
enough and staged a one-man protest that captured the attention of the press  the public  and
the NBA.Above the Rim is a poetic  exquisitely illustrated telling of the life of an
underrecognized athlete and a celebration of standing up for what is right.
