Within another year. Flowers was dead following a seemingly innocuous operation in the clinic of a controversial surgeon to remove lumps and scars above his eyes. Was his death at the age of 34 an accident. a result of negligence. or something more sinister? And what was behind his white manager's attempt to throw Tiger's widow into an asylum and their daughter into an orphanage?
Flowers' inspirational and harrowing story. set against a horrific backdrop of lynching and routine prejudice. is largely forgotten now. but he paved the way for black sporting heroes like Joe Louis. Jesse Owens and Jackie Robinson.
