I went to a lecture today at the Texas Tech Museum, in conjunction with the "We Are The Ship" http://www.depts.ttu.edu/museumttu/exhsch11.html display about the the story of the Negro League Baseball. The speaker, Larry Lester, one of the founders of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM) in Kansas City, MO, gave some interesting information and background about the Negro Leagues and the individuals in them. He has interviewed many of them, which is amazing. He is also personally responsible for finding funding or providing it himself, to erect headstones on unmarked graves of Negro League players.
This was a very interesting lecture.
