"Hear from leaders in Kansas City's black community including the president of the Negro Leagues Museum, Bob Kendrick, author Larry Lester, and more as they discuss the importance of the league in the national context but more importantly in the lives of the black community that thrived around 18th and Vine. Introductory meetings to form the league began on February 13th, 1920 and in the 100 years following Kansas City saw the greatest athletes play at Municipal Stadium, integrate Major League Baseball, create a thriving community in redlined neighborhoods, and carry on a historical legacy in the middle of America.
