In today’s podcast, Richard L. Duquette interviews the Olympians Nelson Vails and John Howard in the show, “The Black Cyclone.”
The Black Cyclone
This is a movie based on the book John Howard has written. The book was based on Marshall “Major” Taylor, born in 1878 in Indiana, and in 1899 won the World Track Championships in Montreal Quebec, Canada. Major Taylor was the first black world champion of any major sport. Major Taylor was a trendsetter, an icon, and a forgotten American hero.
Nelson Vails and John Howard
Richard has a picture of Nelson hanging in his hall of fame. Nelson’s nickname is “The Cheetah.” He won silver in the 84 Olympics in LA. Nelson is the first African American Bicyclist to win an Olympic Medal. Nelson came into the profession about 100 years after Major Taylor.
John Howard has been featured on the show before (EP 001 & 002). Listeners are encouraged to go back to those episodes to learn more about his work with Project Speed and fame in breaking the land speed record on a bicycle.
Interesting Facts about Major Taylor
During Major Taylor’s life a bicycle would be as valuable as a automobile. He was given his first bicycle from a wealthy railroad man in Indiana, who ended up adopting Taylor. Not only could Taylor ride a bicycle well, he was adept at playing the piano and performing card tricks. Despite the hardship and oppression he endured throughout his career he became a national champion in 1897 and a world champion in 1899. Not only did he experience prejudice because of his race, but he refused to race on Sundays because of his faith. This earned him ridicule and Taylor lost out on incredible amounts of racing prize money.
