Beyond the Shadow of the Senators : The Untold Story of the Homestead Grays and the Integration of Baseball ReviewBrad Snyder shows us that early 20th Century African-Americans weren't only progressing in academics at the nearby venerated Howard University; they were also making strides in professional sports by sharing Griffith Stadium, which was practically on Howard U's campus,with the beloved but hapless Washington Senators!That a "negro" team was able to utilize the very same facilities as the Senators in the still very Southern and provincial Washington, DC of the 1930's - 1950's came as a shock to me.
DC was the last NFL team to integrate pro football with Bobby Mitchell in the late 1950's; George Preston Marshall was no civil rights activist, and had to be forced to integrate his Redskins.
It is, therefore, thrilling to see how Washington, DC played a part in the eventuality of pro sports integration, realized in Jackie Robinson's signing in 1947. Snyder tells an interesting tale that all who study the sociological development of a fully integrated Major League Baseball must read!
