As part of the Carver Museum That's My Face Special Edition, “A Most Beautiful Thing” chronicles the first African American high school rowing team (many of whom were in rival gangs from the West Side of Chicago), all coming together to row in the same boat. Narrated by Common and based on the memoir by Arshay Cooper.
