Invisible No More

“Imagine an athlete with the greatness of Patrick Mahomes and Steph Curry, whose backstory is comparable to Jackie Robinson, Warren Moon, Bo Jackson, and Pat Tillman. Now imagine all of it in one 25-year-old. The story of Wilmeth Sidat-Singh is both heroic and heartbreaking. The authors place a much-needed spotlight on a forgotten superstar athlete.” — Mike Tirico, NBC Sports

“We often hear athletes say they stand on the shoulders of their predecessors, but not until you truly understand their journey is it possible to fully understand the debt and gratitude we owe them for the legacy they left us. I am humbled to be a part of the lineage created by Wilmeth Sidat-Singh. His story transcends the game. He truly is an American hero.” — Don McPherson, author, educator, College Football Hall of Fame member

“Based on the true life of an extraordinary young man named Wilmeth Sidat-Singh, Invisible No More is a testament to the grace and grit of the human spirit. The novel follows Wilmeth from the brutal discrimination of the Jim Crow 1930s and 1940s to his ascension as a brilliant student-athlete at Syracuse University to his tragic death at the age of 25 in World War II. The thread that links the past to the present is a tough, irreverent Black female journalist named Breanna who unearths Wilmeth’s long-forgotten story and is changed forever. Readers will be too.” — Joan Ryan, award-winning journalist and author of Intangibles: Unlocking the Science and Soul of Team Chemistry

“It takes persistence, courage, and style to move a hero out of the shadows so a new generation can appreciate such greatness. Thankfully, those elements have aligned here.” — Tim Wendel, award-winning journalist and author of Castro’s Curveball and Summer of ‘68
