Hello Again Geographers –
In my initial read I missed the following from our own Derek Alderman and Josh Inwood that was included in the same story.
Using Wendell Scott and NASCAR to Discuss Civil Rights—Wendell Scott, the first and only African-American driver to win a race in NASCAR’s Grand National Series, competed
throughout the segregated Jim Crow South during the tense days of the civil rights movement. UT geographers Derek Alderman and Joshua Inwood wrote in the
Annals of the American Association of Geographers, describing Scott’s fight to move about the racetrack on his own terms as a microcosm of today’s continued struggle for equal rights.
My apologies to Derek and Josh!
