Henderson Shop Villagelder's Books-N-Games From the dust jacketEdwin Bancroft Henderson is an extremely important figure in the history of sports in our country, yet he is a man whose name is known to but a few people. Dr. Henderson was the first male Negro teacher of physical education in Washington D.C. and the nation. He worked with Negro youths for fifty years and was, on his retirement, made a Fellow of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance [AAHPERD]), the first Negro to be honored. He also authored The Negro in Sports, the first comprehensive study of Negro athletes. Dr. Henderson was a life member of the NAACP and an extremely influential participant in civil rights protests. Among the many youths whose lives he affected dramatically and his fellow civil-rights workers, Edwin Bancroft Henerson is indeed a legendary figure. This book, Molder of Men Portrait of a "Grand Old Man"- Edwin Bancroft Henderson, is a small tribute to this great man, which, it is hoped, will make his name and achievements known to many.
