  • Valerie Jerome

    Sep 23 2024

    Valerie Jerome’s grandfather John “Army” Howard was Canada’s first Black Olympian, and her brother Harry Jerome was one of the most recognizable Black athletes of the 1960s. He set a total of seven world records, earning him the title of the world's fastest man, and competed at three Summer Olympics, including Tokyo in 1964 where he won bronze in the 100m.

    Valerie herself became Canadian senior women’s champion in the sprints and long jump at the age of 15 and went on to represent Canada at the 1960 Rome Olympics.

    In her memoir Races: The Trials and Triumphs of Canada’s Fastest Family, Valerie gives the inside track on her family’s remarkable history, and the racism that they fought along the way – from their community, the press, their country, and even within their home.

    Join writer, broadcaster and blind adventurer Red Szell for the latest episode of AMI-audio's My Life in Books. Each fortnight, Red invites you to join him in conversation with a renowned author about their work and the books that inspired them to write. Since the publication of her debut, The Secret of the Ninth Stone, Kylie Fitzpatrick has established a reputation as a historical novelist that has won her fans around the globe. Her latest novel, Under the Black Mountain, is written under the pen name KT Fitzpatrick and blends history with mystery, to transport the reader back to 1919 and far northern Queensland, Australia. It's a tale that reveals how the shockwaves of the First World War radiated to affect even that remote corner of the world. Join Kylie and Red as they discuss the shell shock, narcotics and strange goings-on in the outback.
