Meet sports historian Steven Travers when he signs his new book One Night, Two Teams: Alabama vs. USC and the Game that Changed a Nation at Russo's Marketplace.  Wednesday, October 10 at 6 p.m.

"Steve Travers is the next great USC historian, in the tradition of Jim Murray, John Hall, and Mal Florence! The Trojan Nation needs more of your work."
- USC Head Football Coach Pete Carroll

In sweltering heat of September of 1970 on Legion Field, the USC Trojans and the University of Alabama's Crimson Tide played a game that defined the emancipation of the South from its sordid history of racial segregation. When USC's black running back Sam "The Bam" Cunningham ran roughshod all over the all-white Crimson Tide, more than a football game was won. Based on interviews with many of the game's participants and thoroughly researched this book presents sports as a metaphor for one of the most profound social changes in history.
