Celebrating Ourselves by Daryl Russell Grigsby PDF Summary

Book Description: Celebrating Ourselves demonstrates how baseball is intricately woven in the fabric ofAfrican-American family, social and political life.

When observers ask, 'Where is the African- American fan?' this book boldly responds, 'Right here '
