In this fourth episode of The American Tapestry Project’s “Americans and Their Games: Sports in American History and Culture” we examine the immigrant experience in America through the lens of sports. From Irish and German immigrants dominating baseball in the 19th century to the rise of Jewish and Italian boxers like Max Baer and Rocky Marciano in the 20th century to Martina Navratilova, Charles Jock, and Patrick Ewing in the 21st century, we’ll explore how sports has been an assimilationist path into American society for generations of new American immigrants. That’s in Episode #37 of The American Tapestry Project.
