A Long Way from Home: The Untold Story of Baseball's Desegregation

A Long Way from Home: The Untold Story of Baseball's Desegregation

'A Long Way From Home' chronicles the struggles and triumphs of the African-American and Latino players who followed Jackie Robinson into white professional baseball. Playing their minor-league ball in small, remote towns where racial segregation remained a fact of life well into the 1960s, these were the men who, before they could live their big-league dreams, first had to beat Jim Crow.
