Baseball, Bigotry, and the Battle for America

Season 2:

Diamond in the Rough

Manzanar Baseball diamond with crowd

A system of horrific, inhumane camps where more than 120,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated. Homegrown baseball diamonds at the camps that became sites of communal resistance & joy. And the legacies & lessons of these histories for our our own fraught moment.

Season 1:

The Celestials’ Last Game

A semi-pro team of Chinese American young men from a New England school, a city defined by rising anti-Chinese prejudice and violence, a tragic yet triumphant 1881 baseball game, and the worst and best of our history & story.
