ESPN described the program this way:
"Narrated by actor Courtney Vance, the program will track Wiley's life from his birth in the Jim Crow atmosphere of Memphis, Tenn., to his pioneering work as a writer and columnist for the Oakland Tribune, Sports Illustrated, as a controversial author and social critic, and as an on-air commentator for ESPN and a groundbreaking columnist for ESPN.com's Page 2. The program explores his untimely death at the age of 52 and features a series of eulogies by family, friends, and colleagues, including filmmaker Spike Lee, former Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson and PTI co-host Mike Wilbon."
