Overview

In the spring of 1946, following the defeat of Hitler s Germany, America found itself still struggling with the subtler but no less insidious tyrannies of racism and segregation at home. In the midst of it all, Jackie Robinson, a full year away from breaking major league baseball s color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers, was undergoing a harrowing dress rehearsal for integration his first spring training as a minor league prospect with the Montreal Royals, Brooklyn s AAA team. In Blackout, Chris Lamb tells what happened during these six weeks in segregated Florida six weeks that would become a critical juncture for the national pastime and for an American society on the threshold of a civil rights revolution.
