Integration Files (BA MSS 67)
Below are documents from the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library's collection Integration Files (BA MSS 67). This collection contains a variety of documents related to the integration of Major League Baseball dating from the early 1940s until the late 1950s. A significant portion of the collection is correspondences between Commissioner Landis and other baseball executives and fans. The last few folders of the collection relate to the Boston Red Sox, the last major league team to field an African-American ballplayer (Pumpsie Green, 1959).
The collection has only been partially digitized and does not have a finding aid. All folders related to Wendell Smith are represented here.
