  • Hear from leaders in Kansas City’s black community including the president of the Negro Leagues Museum, Bob Kendrick, author Larry Lester, and more as they discuss the importance of the league in the national context but more importantly in the lives of the black community that thrived around 18th and Vine. Introductory meetings to form the league began on February 13th, 1920 and in the 100 years following Kansas City saw the greatest athletes play at Municipal Stadium, integrate Major League Baseball, create a thriving community in redlined neighborhoods, and carry on a historical legacy in the middle of America. The documentary will begin at these talks and weave through the success of the African American community between the 1920s and 1930s, with the sparks of BBQ and Jazz, economic development of 18th and Vine, the issues of redlining, the prestige of the Kansas City Monarchs, and end at the efforts to preserve and restore the legacy with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.

    Leroy "Satchel" Paige won the World Series with the Indians in 1948 as a rookie at the age of 42! That was their first title in 28 years and their last! How poetic.

      And now, FINALLY, as of about a week ago, MLB is recognizing the Negro Leagues as official major leagues, with any and ALL hitting and pitching statistics that can be verified as major league statistics, which means that Ol' Satch could be given credit for having about 150 victories added to the previously accepted total.

    Interesting! For the black american it would have been better for them if they did not intenerate baseball because instead of the money going to black communities the money gets funded to the jewish community as it is today.
