A proposito di questo titolo
Today, we hear how baseball helps desegregate America's most segregated city. Roy Wood Jr. takes us back to 1960s Birmingham, when nonviolent protests for racial equality are met with bombings by the Ku Klux Klan. We learn about the business owner who decides to bring baseball back to Birmingham after a two-year hiatus, this time in an integrated environment. And we hear from some of the players on the city's first integrated team about their experiences on field, in the community and on the buses traveling throughout the Deep South.
This episode was written and produced by Alana Schreiber and hosted by Roy Wood Jr.
