The History of Roller Derby (Story Time with Jackie)

I researched the history of the sport of roller derby from 1935 to 1999. From Leo Seltzer and Transcontinental Roller Derby to RollerGames of the 1980s... What a strange journey our sport has had! The endurance races, the staged fighting, the Alligator pit, RollerGames the video game...there is SO MUCH to unpack here.
