Description
CassiusIn the 1950s in the United States, a black person cannot sit next to a white person on the bus. He cannot drink the same water as him, nor attend the same schools. Whites and blacks are not equal in rights: the law says so. Despite their young age, Cassius and his brother suffer this violence on a daily basis. They take the inequalities like so many blows... until the day the eldest discovers boxing. In gyms, skin color matters little. Training quickly becomes an obsession for Cassius, winning, a necessity... Beyond the portrait of one of the greatest athletes of all time, Cassius is a novel about America's racial segregation. Under the pen of Catherine Locandro, those close to "The Greatest" take turns delivering their vision of the future champion: Cassius' victories are so many battles won for equal rights.
