Hadley Park and the Capital City League
Manage episode 375515578 series 3334627
Nashville's Hadley Park opened on July 4, 1912, and was one of the earliest parks anywhere in the United States to be “set aside for the exclusive use of colored people.” It was home to the Capital City League, where the Black community’s semi-pro stars played games.
In this episode, I tell about the home of Negro League stars Clinton “Butch” McCloud, Jim Zapp, and Henry Kimbro!
