"In 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first black major leaguer since Moses Fleetwood Walker, a man driven from organized baseball sixty-seven years earlier. In the interregnum between these two came a multitude of elite black players, forced by legal proscription and de facto segregation to carve out a separate sphere of a sport."
Moses Fleetwood Walkers' biographer and professor at Towson University, David Zang, will discuss this time in baseball's history. This event is related to the Pride and Passion: The African-American Baseball Experience exhibit at Towson University that is running from February 24th- April 8th.
This event is for adults and will begin at 2pm.
