Bob Kendrick -- Lessons from the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum

The history of our nation is often reflected in the history baseball.  In the 1920s, racism and segregation meant that elite black and Latin athletes couldn’t play Major League Baseball — despite their unquestionable skill and talent.  Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, explains that even though that ugly chapter of American history forced the formation of the league, the story is ultimately one of triumph. And the lessons we can learn from those baseball players  are very much applicable today.
