Moments of Impact: Injury, Racialized Memory, and Reconciliation in College Football (Nebraska, 2016) by Jaime Schultz tells the stories of Jack Trice, Ozzie Simmons, and Johnny Bright—all African-American football players at Iowa institutions in the early twentieth century—and examines how the local communities of which they were once a part have forgotten and remembered those assaults over time. It develops the concept of “racialized memory,” a concept reviewers encourage others to read:
