A propos de cet article

A daughter discovers herself while uncovering her father%u2019s legendary past in football. At the age of thirty, Jael Ealey Richardson travelled with her father %u2013 former CFL quarterback Chuck Ealey %u2013 for the first time to a small town in southern Ohio for his fortieth high school reunion. Knowing very little about her father%u2019s past, Richardson was searching for the story behind her father%u2019s move from the projects of Portsmouth, Ohio to Canada%u2019s professional football league in the early 1970s. At the railroad tracks where her father first learned to throw with stones, Jael begins an unexpected journey into her family%u2019s past. In this engaging father-daughter memoir, Richardson records some of her father%u2019s never-before told stories: his relationship with his absentee father, memories of his high school and college football victories %u2013 including a winning record that remains unbroken to this day %u2013 and his up-and-down relationship with the woman he would one day marry. As Richardson begins unravelling the story of her father%u2019s life, she begins to compare her own childhood growing up in Canada, with her father%u2019s US civil rights era upbringing. Along the way, she also discovers the real reason %u2013 despite his athletic accomplishments %u2013 her father was never drafted into the National Football League. The Stone Thrower is a moving story about race and destiny written by a daughter looking for answers about her own black history. Using insightful interviews, archival records and her personal reflections, Richardson%u2019s journey to learn about her father%u2019s past leads her to her own important discoveries about herself, and what it really means to be black in Canada.
