King Solomon White -- This Thursday, October 22, 2015 Event starts at 7:00 PM.

At a special Thursday evening edition of Lunch With Books, Dan Frizzi will discuss the life of Sol White, who learned to play baseball in the sandlots of Bellaire, OH of the 1870's. He played for the Wheeling Green Stockings, and later distinguished himself as a player, manager, and executive in the Negro Baseball Leagues. The author of “Sol White's History of Colored Baseball,” he lived long enough to see the color barrier broken by Jackie Robinson. Dan Frizzi, a local attorney and author, is a board member of the Great Stone Viaduct Historical Education Society.
