Negro League Baseball and Integration 1920-1950 In-Person
This talk explores Negro League baseball in Cleveland and the 1947 integration of the Indians. It highlights the African American press’s activism in pushing for integration and urging team owners to sign Black players. With Larry Doby’s debut, Cleveland led the way, though major league integration took another twelve years, revealing both progress and persistent inequality.
