Of black women athletes in the age of jim crow. Thanks for joining us on American History. Thanks for having me. Let me begin with your book expected to be published in about a year. What have you learned so far . Oh, so many things. I started the project asking is there a long history of black women in sports and i found more than i expected to find quite frankly. There wasnt any archive labelled this is a history of black women in sports. So i kind of had to piece it together. I got started by finding three women who played baseball in the negro leagues in the 1950s. And it was a remarkable story. They played with the men. And one of the things that stuck out to me about that story was that the owner who had brought in the black women to play against the men said he had something called a gal file. Where women across the country and young girls too were writing in to request tryouts and that struck in my head as a young gradua ....

Professor davis oh, so many things. I started the project asking, is there a long history of black women in sports . I found more than i expected to find, quite frankly. There wasnt any archive labeled this is the history of black women in sports. So i kind of had to piece it together.

I thought, hmm, if theres a lot of black girls and women in the mid century trying to play baseball maybe theres a longer history here. Thats what set me out to find some of the stories in the book that take us from track, to tennis, from baltimore to rome, and looking at black women and sporting history in the 20th century. Two names, one quite familiar, hank arron and stony stone . Yeah. Again, like i said, those baseball women who i stumbled upon, they were brought in at the kind of fall of the negro leagues. The negro leagues had been a huge institution in the black community. It provided ownership and upward mobility for Business Owners and opportunity to play for black men at the time. Always pushing for integration of the majors. Jackie robinson broke formally the color line. What we see after that is an exodus of the top tier talent. Theyre going into the majors with no compentation back into their teams. The negro league ....
