A Pastime of Their Own: The Story of Negro League Baseball offers an engaging exploration of the rich history of Black baseball players, teams, and leagues in America from the 1850s through World War II. Taught by Professor Louis Moore, this course takes listeners behind the scenes of key moments, social changes, and economic developments that shaped the sport amid America's broader racial divides. Through twelve compelling lectures, it illuminates a vital chapter in both sports and social history, revealing how baseball's racial segregation and eventual integration reflect deeper cultural shifts.
