I started the project asking, is there a long history of black women in sports . I found more than i expected to find quite frankly. There wasnt any archive labeled , this is the history of black sports. So i had to piece it together. I got started by finding three women who actually played baseball in the negro leagues in the 1950s. It was a remarkable story. They played with the men. One of the things that stuck out to me about that story was that the owner who had brought in these black women to play with the man said he had a file where women across the country were writing in to request tryouts. That stuck in my head as a young graduate student and i thought, is there a lot of black girls history trying to play baseball, maybe theres is a Hidden History here. So that made me go out to find other stories in the book, from track, to tennis, from baltimore to rome, really looking at black women in sporting history in the 20th century.

When you see that much smoke that close to home, youre gonna check it out authorities confirm a City Building used for storage caught fire morning. Witnesses say they believe its used to keep confiscated property. You couldnt see much except people in the area tell me they rushed to the scene because of pump may have caught fire or even the apartment buidlings down here in cedar falls.
