Major Taylor's story

The Fastest Bicycle Rider in the World is the autobiography of Major Taylor, who was a talented African-American cycle racer at the turn of the last century.

Wikipedia's article on Major Taylor notes that, "Taylor was the first African-American athlete to achieve the level of world champion and only the second black man to win a world championship—after Canadian boxer George Dixon."
