{"product_id":"60-robert-khayat-9781949455281","title":"60: A Year of Sports, Race \u0026 Politics","description":"In 1960, 22-year-old Robert Khayat experienced a year in which his own life, the nation, and the state of Mississippi were forever changed. The same spring that four college students in North Carolina refused to move from a segregated lunch counter, Khayat's SEC champion Ole Miss baseball team was denied the right to play in the NCAA tournament because they might encounter a Black opponent. At the same time that young John F. Kennedy became a household name, Khayat's dark-skinned father was making an unlikely ascent to become one of the most politically powerful men in Mississippi. And two high-profile segregationists - Redskins owner George Preston Marshall and Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett - would impact Khayat's life in ways he could never have imagined. The events of 1960 set the stage for a revolution . . . and Robert Khayat was living in the midst of it all. 60: A Year of Sports, Race \u0026amp; Politics is the story of the year that changed everything for a nation, its culture, and a promising young man from Mississippi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Khayat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949455289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949455281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nautilus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.79d","brand":"Robert Khayat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048454484223,"sku":"9781949455281","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c173fd27-7079-4d23-93e2-e72edddd3f87.jpg?v=1684995859","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/60-robert-khayat-9781949455281","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
