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 by Stanton Green, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at Monmouth University, 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.
