This entire book was an amazing metaphor of the struggle blacks had with whites, compared with the baseball games of the time. It captured the persona of the struggle, fear, and despair of the time. This would really help students fully understand the time through the very detailed and accurate illustrations. It even has a "panel discussion" that describes in detail the meaning behind the details. A terrific educational tool that I believe all students could enjoy!
