     Sherman J. Howard: Football and Beyond – The Legend and Legacy of an African-American NFL Pioneer is an enriching chronicle of the oldest living NFL alumnus. 
     Distinguished as a catalyst for removing racial barriers prominent in the early days of American football , Howard begins the narrative with an introduction to the dynamics of various cultural encounters of the segregated South.  Detailed throughout the book’s passages, Howard shares important influences that helped shape his life, including faith, mentors, family, and a well-regarded twenty-six year high school teaching and coaching career.
     From the battlefield to the football field, expect to be inspired by his journey of becoming a trailblazer in college athletics, as well as professional football.  Howard’s professional football career included playing with the New York Yanks (later becoming New York Giants) and the Cleveland Browns, from 1949 to 1954.
     Currently residing near Chicago, Illinois, at age ninety-three, Howard continues to be regarded for his significant historical contributions to sports and football and for being a source of inspiration to make a positive difference in many people’s lives.
