611. Part 1 of our conversation with Carlis Wright Robinson about her father's, Johnny Wright's, baseball career. In

American players and officials formed their own league, called The Negro League. Despite not playing in Major League Baseball,
Wright, like countless other African Americans in baseball at
that time, by their mere presence and participation in baseball
at that time in America, rejected racism and served as pioneers
for future generations.
