BLACK MEN MATTER SERIES - Negro League Baseball - A Hidden Gem in American Sports: guest Larry Lester

This episode of "The Male Perspective,'' Lana chats with Larry Lester - Author and Co-Founder of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Mr. Lester shares some of the rich history and legacy of Black baseball players in the United States, from African American players in the 1850s to Jackie Robinson’s integration of the game in 1947. In recent years, Major League Baseball has stated it will now recognize the Negro Leagues and Mr. Lester explains the challenge of now incorporating statistics of Black players that in some cases will unseat many long-held historical records of white players.
