"Jackie With The Monarchs" Presentation Video

Video of the presentation I gave at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum on Jackie's '45 season with KC.

Oh Crap

This is bad.

Negro Leagues Museum Reading

The Associated Press released a story recently about financial difficulties at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The article and annual Legacy Awards event on January 30th have contributed to a small flurry of NLBM related articles. The museum is an issue close to my heart, and I hope to have a post here with my thoughts at some point. In the meantime, I want to collect some links for reading on the topic:

• Doug Tucker's Associated Press story
