1934 : the Chatham Coloured All-Stars' barrier-breaking year / Heidi LM Jacobs. by Jacobs, Heidi L. M. Biblioasis, 2023. Call #: 796.35764 J17n Subjects Chatham Coloured All-Stars (Baseball team)   Baseball teams -- Ontario -- Chatham -- History -- 20th century.   Baseball players, Black -- Ontario -- Chatham -- History -- 20th century.   Chatham (Ont.) -- Race relations.   Baseball -- Ontario -- Chatham -- History -- 20th century. ISBN:  9781771964777 (trade pbk) Alternate title:  Nineteen thirty-four Description:  281 p. : ill., portraits; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "The true story of the first Black team to win an Ontario Baseball Amateur Association championship. The pride of Chatham’s East End, the Coloured All-Stars broke the colour barrier in baseball more than a decade before Jackie Robinson did the same in the Major Leagues. Fielding a team of the best Black baseball players from across southwestern Ontario and Michigan, theirs is a story that could only have happened in this particular time and place: during the depths of the Great Depression, in a small industrial town a short distance from the American border, home to one of the most vibrant Black communities in Canada. Drawing heavily on scrapbooks, newspaper accounts, and oral histories from members of the team and their families, 1934: The Chatham Coloured All-Stars’ Barrier-Breaking Year shines a light on a largely overlooked chapter of Black baseball. But more than this, 1934 is the story of one group of men who fought for the respect that was too often denied them. Rich in detail, full of the sounds and textures of a time long past, 1934 introduces the All-Stars’ unforgettable players and captures their winning season, so that it almost feels like you’re sitting there in Stirling Park’s grandstands, cheering on the team from Chatham."--Publisher.
