1943 Spring Training in Indiana

This is a short segment that I produced and wrote for WTIU/WFIU’s Indiana Newsdesk.  The segment features an interview with Marty Pieratt, the author of The First Black Red.  The Cincinnati Reds practiced right here in Bloomington, IN in the Spring of 2014 due to dangerous conditions during the war.  The field where the team practiced is now home to the parking lot of the Indiana Memorial Union.
