Our American Stories

The Story of Chuck Taylor, the Billy Graham of Basketball

On this episode of Our American Stories, he wasn't an NBA star: He was a sneaker salesman that helped popularize the sport of basketball, and the sneakers that now bear his name. This is his story. <a data-auth="NotApplicable" href="https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate">Support the show</a> (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Our American Stories tells stories that aren’t being told. Positive stories about generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love. Stories about the past and present. And stories about ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things each and every day. Stories from our listeners about their lives. And their history. In that pursuit, we hope we’ll be a place where listeners can refresh their spirit, and be inspired by our stories.
