Discover the inspiring journey of Krom Hendricks in Too Black to Wear Whites by Richard Parry, published by Pitch Publishing Ltd in 2021. This compelling narrative delves into the life of Hendricks, the first black South African sporting hero, who faced racial discrimination in his quest to play cricket. As one of the world's best fast bowlers, he was unjustly barred from representing his country by Cecil Rhodes due to the color of his skin.
Through his courageous challenge against the establishment, Hendricks emerged as a pivotal figure in the fight against sports segregation. With 288 pages of rich storytelling, this hardback edition not only highlights the struggles faced by Hendricks but also celebrates his legacy and impact on the world of sports.
