Description
Colorized photo from 1900 black and white. Original title "African American baseball players from Morris Brown College, with boy and another man standing at door, Atlanta, Georgia."
Professional African-American teams and short-lived "negro leagues" formed in the late 1800s. Some interracial games occurred when major league white teams played black teams in barnstorming (exhibition) games. However, during the early 1900s, blacks were not allowed to play on white professional teams in the United States.
After 1947, when major league teams began integrating, the Negro League teams lost many of their best players, and the League folded entirely in 1960. In 1990, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum opened in Kansas City, Missouri.

Maria, Fantastic find and detailed colorization of this image, fantastic details in the expressions of the ballplayers and even the stones in the building they are leaning up against. Great historical piece I have plenty of old black and white of popular ball players and this has given me some ideas. Great work LF
