Description

Bruce Kidd's remarkable life has been marked by a passion for sports and a commitment to social justice. As one of Canada's most celebrated athletes, Kidd won races globally and participated in the Olympics, sparking a revolution in distance running and Canadian track and field.

However, Kidd's experiences also highlighted the challenges faced by athletes, particularly those from marginalized communities. He spoke out against racism, sexism, and unequal treatment in sports, advocating for equity and justice that continues to this day.

This memoir offers a unique insight into Kidd's journey, from his early days as an athlete to his later work as an advocate and academic leader. With over seventy years of experience in Canadian and international sports, Kidd shares his story of joy, discovery, and activism.
