I'm glad you asked this question. Especially
about black baseball league. I had the priviledge
of seeing the great Satchel Paige pitch.
{now I'm dating myself} Of course I was just
a kid,but I'll never forget it. He was on his way
back down from the Major Leagues and was
pitching in the minors but it was a thrill. Have
your son look up his records.

Invite an older "Black" person to your home for an interview!
Ask them to bring pictures.
View Roots and discuss.
Teach geography an history of Africa, listen to african music, the internet has african radio station, compare african music to current trends in "black" music in the US.
View older movies and cartoons that show "blacks" in a derrogatory way (ie 1920-50's), discuss prejudice and acceptance. etc....
