This collection is dedicated to America's favorite "national pastime", baseball. It draws on approximately thirty manuscripts, books, photographs, and ephemera from many parts of the Library. The first three sections of the presentation describe the color line that segregated baseball for many years, the Negro Leagues, and Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson--two men who played key roles in integrating the sport. The last two sections of the presentation explore Robinson's career as a Dodger and his civil rights activities. The site also offers an annotated bibliography and links to related web sites.
