Seeking Negro League Images

[drmiraculous]

Absolutely I gladly give credit! I am happy to credit and might legally required, my publisher has a whole list of rules I had no clue about until I signed on. Image rights got complex fast, especially on personal shots where theres no telling who took the snap. That sent me lookin for images to replace some of the ones I learned would be denied or unusable due to rights problems.

Gilkersons Union Giants, looks like maybe 1920 or round about? Another barnstorming beast on the road, they were!

Yes, I think if we say ca.1920s, we'll be pretty close on it.

This one isn't a barnstorming team but what an early postcard image. Very rough shape but you take what you can!

Dunno if this has any relevance:



It's a military team around 1940. The name "Brown Bombers" may be a reference to Alabama native Joe Louis (one of his nicknames was "The Brown Bomber") or a reference to air force bombers? I have no idea. I just thought it was a cool photo.

This is cool! I think Joe sponsored some wartime leagues USO leagues, its possible this could be connected, maybe even a semi pro or youth league. Never seen one of these before, thank you!
