Notes

Color Blind tells the true story of the Bismarck baseball team in 1930s North Dakota—an integrated semipro team formed by car dealer Neil Churchill during the Great Depression. Featuring Black stars like Satchel Paige and Hilton Smith alongside white players, the team defied segregation a decade before Jackie Robinson. Set amid Dust Bowl hardships, the book recounts their 1935 championship run and highlights how their success quietly challenged baseball’s color barrier and reflected a vision of equality ahead of its time.
