I’ve been pretty heads down and mum on #MajorTaylor. I’m finally winding down production, 4 years and about 400 pages later. I won’t rhapsodize but man…what a long, strange trip it has been.

I have had a few out-of-the-blue discoveries while completing the #MajorTaylor graphic novel. This page, from an 1897 issue of #BearingsMagazine discovered on #InternetArchive hasn’t turned up in any of the voluminous research I’ve done. Quite a gem, seeing 18 year old pre-fame Taylor here.

Did you know? In the late 1870s, Black and White Americans raced together in cycling. Last night, author Robert Turpin and the Major Taylor Cycling Club joined us at The Filson to highlight Black cyclists' early contributions to the sport.

Major Taylor: The first Black American global sports superstar
He shattered world records abroad but was shunned at home. Now, the greatest athlete you've never heard of could receive the US' highest civilian honour.
