Major Taylor: Champion of the Race — Trailer

Major Taylor: Champion of the Race retraces the life and legacy of an American civil rights pioneer who set more than 20 world records in track cycling during the heart of Jim Crow America. By the time he was in his early 20s, Major Taylor had captured the world cycling championship, the American cycling crown, and had set dozens of world track cycling records – all while having to endure withering racial pressures. Major Taylor: Champion of the Race premieres Monday, February 26th at 8pm E.T. right here on WTIU's YouTube channel!
