This collection contains correspondence and newspaper clippings relating to the integration of baseball and the ending of Jim Crow segregation. It includes correspondence between Kenesaw Landis, Major League Baseball executives and owners, and Negro American League and Negro National League executives. There is also correspondence from writers and fans wanting an end to segregation in baseball. It includes organizational minutes, a mayor's committee report, letters from the public endorsing the mayor's plan, as well as those asking for Larry MacPhail to be removed from the committee.
