I went to a Newark Bears baseball game this weekend and at the stadium there was a traveling exhibit from the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. It was really facinating and I thought, "I would love to visit this museum". Unfortunately, the muesum is in Kansas City, Missouri (that's far). Luckily, we can travel there from the comfort of our own homes by visiting the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum's eMuseum. It's chock full of great stuff like player and team profiles, interview videos and a large photo archive and more. A great companion to this wonderful website is the equally wonderful book We Are The Ship, by Kadir Nelson. It's fantastic summer reading.
I read We Are The Ship ! The illustrations alone are beautiful, and combined with the text you won't want to put it down!
