Only the Ball was White: A History of Native and Black American Baseball

to

USC-Lancaster Native American Studies Center 119 South Main Street, Lancaster, South Carolina 29720

“Only the Ball was White: A History of Native and Black American Baseball,” will be presented by Stanton Green, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at Monmouth University. 

As great as Jackie Robinson was, he was not the first American Black baseball player. In fact, two great Native American baseball players made significant contributions to our nation’s pastime in the early 20th century. This presentation will describe the significance of these players from the beginning of baseball as an American sport through the Jim Crow and Civil Rights Era where Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby and so many other Black ballplayers led the way toward racial equality in the U.S.
