Brooklyn, Bed-Sty, post WWII euphoria, nostalgia, the PAL and race relations as they really were, as lived by pioneering track stars, the DeSaussure twins, who opened Police Athletic League to thousands of girls of color. Story of a religious home life, pride of a mixed neighborhood, athletic triumphs and defeats. Successful today, they are giving back.
