Before Brooklyn: Breaking Baseball’s Color Barrier

Meet the Author

—Ted Reinstein—

co-sponsored with the Holliston Public Library

This talk was recorded and will be available to view on the Holliston Library’s website. The program was held on Sunday, February 20th, 2:00-3:30 PM.

In honor of Black History Month, local author and Holliston resident, Ted Reinstein will talk about his latest book, Before Brooklyn: The Unsung Heroes Who Helped Break Baseball’s Color Barrier.  The book chronicles the 60 years during which black baseball players were banned from the major leagues.  Their struggle to integrate our national pastime paved the way for Jackie Robinson, yet they remained anonymous. 

Because of the number of COVID-19 cases in town, this program will be by Zoom.  Sign up on the Holliston Public Library website at www.hollistonlibrary.org
