Commentary: Satchel Paige was by all accounts the greatest baseball pitcher of all time, and yet because of our racial divide in this country he was not allowed to pitch in the Majors until long past his prime. This piece is yet another reminder about how much talent White America has wasted due to our inability to get past our racist prejudices.
Medium: Old Coca-Cola wood frame box with tobacco tin signs on sides, original Satchel Paige baseball card, vintage 1950's photo of boy, handmade wood carving of brown hand holding old baseball, old ball glove, racist stereotype wood dancing figure
