He had been so eager to see them that he'd run seven miles to where the course was situated outside of town. But his elation didn't last. When he asked two golfers if they'd teach him the game, one man responded by saying, 'Son, didn't anyone ever tell you that your kind is not welcome here?' In the 1920's there was no place for Willie, or any black person, on a golf cource. It was a game for white people only, at least in America. But his enthusiasm for golf and his belief in what he knew to be right drove Willie Powell to change that, and to change minds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Michelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1585364665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781585364664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sleeping Bear Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 9.20w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e149504 \/ Twice as Good: The Story of William Powell and Clearview, the Only Golf Course Designed, Built, and\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e NAPPA Gold Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Parents Choice Awards (Fall) (2008-Up) - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2012 pg. 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2012 pg. 104","brand":"Richard Michelson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044410880255,"sku":"9781585364664","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a114a32-5ddb-4efe-9ebf-fd9c884c4190.jpg?v=1684972696","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/twice-as-good-richard-michelson-9781585364664","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
