Ebook About Now a documentary narrated by Common, produced by Grant Hill, Dwyane Wade, and 9th Wonder, from filmmaker Mary Mazzio The moving true story of a group of young men growing up on Chicago's West side who form the first all-Black high school rowing team in the nation, and in doing so not only transform a sport, but their lives.Growing up on Chicago’s Westside in the 90’s, Arshay Cooper knows the harder side of life. The street corners are full of gangs, the hallways of his apartment complex are haunted by drug addicts he calls “zombies” with strung out arms, clutching at him as he passes by. His mother is a recovering addict, and his three siblings all sleep in a one room apartment, a small infantry against the war zone on the street below.Arshay keeps to himself, preferring to write poetry about the girl he has a crush on, and spends his school days in the home-ec kitchen dreaming of becoming a chef. And then one day as he’s walking out of school he notices a boat in the school lunchroom, and a poster that reads “Join the Crew Team”.Having no idea what the sport of crew is, Arshay decides to take a chance. This decision to join is one that will forever change his life, and those of his fellow teammates. As Arshay and his teammates begin to come together to learn how to row--many never having been in water before--the sport takes them from the mean streets of Chicago, to the hallowed halls of the Ivy League. But Arshay and his teammates face adversity at every turn, from racism, gang violence, and a sport that has never seen anyone like them before.A Most Beautiful Thing is the inspiring true story about the most unlikely band of brothers that form a family, and forever change a sport and their lives for the better.Book A Most Beautiful Thing: The True Story of America's First All-Black High School Rowing Team Review :
Arshay Cooper manages to write about an often desperate and depressiv, many layered situation without losing any of those layers, without losing any of the gray shades, and that is a huge accomplishment and part of what makes this book so special. He also keeps the layers of the story as things start to get better, as rowing, enterpreneurship classes, the coming together of the team, the coaches and foremost his own work on himself have a positive, transformative impact on him, his teammates, who are equally transformed by their own work, the team the coaches. The story is special as such, his ability to tell it makes it even more special. I think anybody involved in this story is touched, changed by it, I think and hope anybody reading it is too. If not, it isn't his fault, he is leaving it all out there on the page like he did on the water as part of the first African-American HS Crew.While I cannot walk in the shoes of any of the people in the book, Arshay Cooper has the gift to bring you as close as you could possibly get and taught me a lot. An honest, deeply felt, well written book that should be on reading lists of schools, libraries, BLM, really any adult or young reader. I do want to point out, this book has many layers adding to the whole. There is certainly the issue of privilege or lack thereof, of racism and other related issues, but there are other issues like self-discovery, writing your own story, creating your own place and family. The book is rich and I felt richer on many levels for reading it. Pigeonholing it as a "African American book" only, would be shortsighted, a disfavour to the book and author while short changing the reader and in a way a form of racism in itself.A big thank you to the author!!!!! This is one well-written book by a master storyteller who dishes out honestly about his painful youth, his life as a black adolescent in Chicago, the life-changing power of faith and friendship, and—most eloquently—of the power of hope and love. Along the way, he teaches a lot about the sport of rowing. Reading it during the time of riots and protests over the murder of a Minneapolis black man in police custody, I understand in much greater depth the frustrations and hopelessness of the African Americans caught in cycles of poverty, drugs, and racism in our inner cities. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
