| Abstract | A prominent African American photographer presents a visual history of the Negro Leagues, with photos taken from when he was the unofficial team photographer for the Memphis Red Sox, documenting both the years of Negor baseball's integration and the communities in which the games were played, and featuring duotone plates of such legends as Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, and Hank Aaron. |
