(3) K-3 Illustrated by Don Tate. Effa Manley was the first woman inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. This book describes her work as an owner/manager of the Newark Eagles, a Negro League team, and her tireless fight on behalf of African Americans whenever she encountered injustice. Rich-hued paintings capture the times in addition to Manley's warmth and determination.
