I just watched this biographical program about Major Taylor:

 It's well worth watching. I've long thought that Taylor deserved a lot more recognition than he's gotten. Such an incredible athlete, and such an admirable man! I know his recognition has increased in the last 25 years or so, but he deserves more.
 The show lists at about 90 minutes, but roughly half an hour is requests for PBS donations. You can fast forward past those, if you care to.

I am in agreement with you concerning Major Taylor. But I undeerstand that the movie concerne more about his discrimination rather than his accomplishments. That is an insult of the highest kevel. I am getting very tired of things designed to separate people rather than bring them together.

Not surprising if it was done by PBS. I can't comment further because
that's not the kind of thing I'd watch.
