Storia

Which flashpoint moment in US sports history stays with you the most? Whether we witness these moments of greatness ourselves or hear about them secondhand, these images become etched in our minds, indelibly imprinted in our national collective consciousness.

Now, in this compelling 15-lecture audio series, The Great Moments in Sports History that Inspired America, David L. Hudson, Jr., author of numerous books on sports, takes us back in time to relive some of these epic performances.

With Hudson as your guide, you’ll sit ringside as Muhammad Ali employs the “rope-a-dope” strategy to upset George Foreman in Zaire and cheer as Secratariat wins the Triple Crown at the Belmont Stakes by an astounding 31 lengths. You’ll gasp as Reggie Jackson leads the Yankees to the World Series Championship with three home runs and marvel as Wilton Norman Chamberlain scores 100 points in a single NBA game.

You’ll also take in moments of triumph whose significance transcends the realm of sports, such as Jesse Owens’ victory at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, which shattered Adolph Hitler’s noxious myth of Aryan superiority.

In this series, Hudson’s talents as an award-winning professor and world championship boxing judge are put to full effect. Join him as he reanimates your favorite moments in sports history and sheds new light on the men and women who achieved them.

This course is part of the Learn25 Collection.
