Jules Tygiel was a preeminent historian of American baseball. Tygiel joined the history faculty at San Francisco State University in 1978. Jules Tygiel’s work on the history of baseball helped to legitimize sports history among historians and to show nonhistorians how sports can illuminate the past. His large and significant body of scholarly work was characterized by careful research, clear and graceful writing, and the selection of topics that speak not just to our understanding of our past but also of ourselves and our society. His first book, Baseball’s Great Experiment: Jackie Robinson and His Legacy (1983), probes both the process of integration and its limits, and is as much about race as about baseball. As he explained, “The dynamics of interracial relationships among players, coaches, and managers provide rare insights into what occurs when nonwhites are introduced into a previously segregated industry.” Named to several “best book” lists, the book also received a Robert Kennedy Book Award.

Her second novel, Each Little Bird That Sings, was a 2005 National Book Award finalist. Her documentary novel, Revolution, was a 2014 National Book Award finalist. Wiles received the PEN/Phyllis Naylor Working Writer Fellowship in 2004 and the E.B. White Read-Aloud Award in 2005. Her fiction centers on home, family, kinship, and community, and often deals with historical events (Freedom Summer/Civil Rights, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War), social justice issues, and childhood reactions to those events, as well as everyday childhood moments and mysteries, most taken directly from her childhood. It's 1964, and Sunny's town is being invaded. Or at least that's what the adults of Greenwood, Mississippi, are saying. All Sunny knows is that people from up north are coming to help people register to vote. They're calling it Freedom Summer. Meanwhile, Sunny can't help but feel like her house is being invaded, too. She has a new stepmother, a new brother, and a new sister crowding her life, giving her little room to breathe. Award-winning author Deborah Wiles uses stories and images to tell the riveting story of a certain time and place--and of people who, in a world where everyone is choosing sides, must figure out how to stand up for themselves and fight for what's right.

Isabel Wilkerson (born 1961) is an American journalist and the author of The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration and Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. She was the first woman of African-American heritage to win the Pulitzer Prize in journalism.

During her research for the book, Wilkerson interviewed more than 1,000 people who made the migration from the South to Northern and Western cities.
