Let's play ball! Scholars summarize information from Promises to Keep about segregation in professional baseball after World War II. They then listen as the teacher reads pages 22-25 aloud. Pupils write the gist in their journals of the passage they heard, and then read the passage for a second time and make inferences about the opinions of journalists during that time period.
