Event Details

Learn how the Village of Babylon witnessed firsthand the birth of racially segregated baseball teams. The Cuban Giants, the first established Negro League, produced players such as Solomon “Sol” White. Using his notoriety, Sol went on to desegregate the minor leagues, 47 years before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in the major leagues.
