What’s Rob Reading?

Kadir Nelson's The Centennial (The New Yorker)

“The Centennial”
By Kadir Nelson, The New Yorker

“In 1920, baseball, like nearly all of American public life, was segregated. That year, in the Midwest, the owners of a small group of Black baseball teams convened to create the Negro National League. It was the first real and successful effort to showcase the talent that was banned from the majors, and in the following years more Black leagues would spring up across the country, fading only after Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier, in 1947. In his latest cover for The New Yorker, Kadir Nelson pays tribute to this history.
