But most of white America knew nothing about this story because mainstream newspapers said little about the color line and less about the efforts to end it. Even today, as far as most Americans know, the integration of baseball revolved around Branch Rickey's signing of Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers' organization in 1945. This book shows how Rickey's move, critical as it may well have been, came after more than a decade of work by black and left-leaning journalistsBaseballSocial aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryDiscrimination in sportsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMass media and sportsUnited StatesHistory20th centurySportswritersUnited StatesHistory20th centuryAfrican American sportswritersHistory20th centuryRacismUnited StatesHistory20th centuryElectronic books.BaseballSocial aspectsHistoryDiscrimination in sportsHistoryMass media and sportsHistorySportswritersHistoryAfrican American sportswritersHistoryRacismHistory796.3570973Lamb Chris1958-859378MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461389503321Conspiracy of silence1917931UNINA02032nam0 22004573i 450 LO1007813220251003044206.0041502612119920304d1991 ||||0itac50 baenggbz01i xxxe z01nCompanion to contemporary economic thoughtedited by David Greenaway, Michael Bleaney and Ian StewartLondonNew YorkRoutledge1991XII, 858 p.24 cmRoutledge referenceSC/NAP 18/09/98MILV123325SC/ICC 28/12/94TO0V042613001BVE00072162001 Routledge referenceEconomiaTeorieFIRCFIC002608E330.1ECONOMIA.
