From left, Negro League players Ken Free, Horace “Pete” Venable Jr. and Ted Toles answer questions from fans . “This is history that needs to be told,” Free, a third baseman with the Raleigh Tigers in 1959, said of the Negro League. ANDREW HENDERSON PHOTOS | THE VIRGINIAN-PILOT


One thing though, THEY APPEAR to be ANSWERING QUESTIONS from YOUNG and OLD alike and are not ASHAMED of why they feel the NEGRO LEAGUE is important to AMERICA.
 
What's up dusty elbows....thanks for sharing this. Good article ...the image link didnt take me to the article page though. I had to search around for it.


"The only thing children today know is if you made the majors or not," said Ken Free, who played third base with the Raleigh Tigers in 1959. "They need to know about the Negro League. This is history that needs to be told."
