In the “American Tapestry: We Tell Ourselves Stories”, Andrew Roth explores the post-1968 shattering of the American story by asking “What is the ‘story of America’? Is there such a thing? Is there only one story, or are there many stories? If there are many stories, how are they woven, can they be woven, together to tell the story of America?”

Americans & Their Games: Sports and the Immigrant’s Tale Part 2

In this fifth episode of The American Tapestry Project’s “Americans and Their Games: Sports in American History and Culture” we examine the immigrant experience in America through the lens of sports. Picking up from Part 4, we meet the rise of Jewish and Italian boxers like Max Baer and Rocky Marciano in the earlu 20th century and New Americans like Martina Navratilova, Charles Jock, and Patrick Ewing in the 21st century, as we continue to explore how sports has been an assimilationist path into American society for generations of new American immigrants.
