Marshall “Major” Taylor, born on November 26, 1878, in Indianapolis, Indiana, was a pioneering African-American cyclist who left an indelible mark on the sport of cycling during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His remarkable achievements, resilience in the face of racial adversity, and trailblazing spirit have made him an enduring figure in the history of both sports and civil rights.
