Join us at the Madden Hills branch library on Saturday, Feb. 07 at 2:00 PM to take a look at the fabled history of baseball's Negro Leagues, which featured larger than life players like Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige, and "Cool Papa" Bell. Did the Negro Leaguers play ball in the same way, with the same intent and meaning, as their white contemporaries? Peter Rutkoff, Professor and Chair of American Studies at Kenyon College, will look at the cultural style and rhetoric of Negro League baseball.Prepare for the program with one of these fine volumes on the subject:
Shades of Glory: the Negro Leagues and the Story of African-American baseball
The Negro Leagues Chronology
