SUMMARY
This docuseries will shed light on the realities of being a Black athlete in the league by highlighting early pioneer John Wooten and how his efforts help change the landscape of the NFL forever. John Wooten’s voice and story will set the stage for other athletes’ stories to take the spotlight and illustrate the change that has happened over the last 60 years.
