Book Synopsis
In the 1930s, Monroe, Louisiana, was a town of twenty-six thousand in the northeastern corner of the state. Race relations were bad, and the Depression was pitiless. Yet for a few years in the early 1930s, this unlikely spot was home to the Monarchs, a national-calibre Negro League baseball team. Aiello tells the almost-unknown story of the team and positions black baseball in the context of American racial discrimination.
