Episode 3 features the incredible story of Dolphus Stroud. In 1928, Dolphus Stroud qualified for the Olympic trials in the 5k race. However, as a Black man he was denied funding and transportation to get to the trials at Harvard Stadium. Undeterred, 19-year-old Dolphus walked over 2,000 miles from Colorado Springs to Cambridge, Massachusetts. His descendant Frank Shines joins Host Vanessa Tyler to share details about Dolphus' journey and the incredible accomplishments of the Stroud family despite the obstacles of racism. https://runningtoharvard.com/
