NEGRO LEAGUE BASEBALL: WE ARE THE SHIP

THE PROJECT:

Mr. Murray is not a big baseball fan, unless of course it is Negro League Baseball. Forget those steroid filled player of the MLB, the Negro League had pure, performance-enhancing-free athletes. He wants to share his "Love of the Game" with you. Gathering info and knowledge from the sites below and using the pictures from Kadir Nelson's We Are the Ship, you will create a 15-slide PowerPoint (feel free to use more than 15) displaying your knowledge of the Negro League in a creative way. Ideas you might want to consider, but aren't limited to are:
