The Bingo Long Traveling All Stars And Motor Kings by William Brashler
Set against the backdrop of the segregated 1930s, this vibrant tale follows a group of African American baseball players who break away from the constraints of the Negro Leagues to form their own barnstorming team. Led by the charismatic Bingo Long, the team travels across the Midwest in a colorful caravan of cars, challenging local teams and defying racial barriers with their dazzling on-field antics and undeniable talent. As they navigate the challenges of independence, the players forge deep bonds of camaraderie and resilience, all while pursuing their shared dream of playing the game they love on their own terms.
