Kim Newlands is the English athlete 'sponsored' by the Blackshirts and devoted to his mercurial, socialite girlfriend Connie.

But while some scenes from her life end up on the cutting room floor, this does not mean they are lost forever ...

Races : the trials & triumphs of Canada's fastest family / by Jerome, Valerie(Valerie E.),author.;
In the 1960s, Harry Jerome set 7 world records, including the 100-yard dash, earning him the title of the world's fastest man. His grandfather, John "Army" Howard, was Canada's first Black Olympian, running in Stockholm in 1912 against nearly impossible odds. Harry's sister, Valerie, competed for Canada at the 1960 Rome Olympics. With Races, Valerie Jerome sets the record straight on her heroic family's history, and the racism they fought along the way -- from their community, the press, their country, and even inside their family home. Races tracks Harry's life through his inimitable athletic career and into his work as an advocate for youth sport and education. Bringing readers inside the Jerome household, Races reveals the hurdles they faced during the heavily segregated '60s and the long reach of racism that plagued their family history. A tale of courage and conviction, Races is the difficult, yet inspiring story of the Jerome family: what propelled them in life and on the track.
