MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The Milwaukee Public Library has been chosen to host a national traveling exhibit on baseball's Negro Leagues.
"Pride and Passion: The African-American Baseball Experience" will be at the library from July 22 through Sept. 4.
The Milwaukee Public Library is one of 25 libraries nationwide chosen to host the exhibit, which treats baseball as a reflection of U.S. race relations.
The show covers the history of baseball's Negro Leagues and looks at how black ballplayers have fared in Major League Baseball since Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.
It includes photographs, team rosters, scorecards and other baseball memorabilia.
It's being paid for with a National Endowment for the Humanities grant.
