Honouring the Chatham Coloured All-Stars: Ontario’s first all-Black OBA champions
From the Black Cabin Studio archives — originally aired in January 2021.
In 1934, the Chatham Coloured All-Stars made baseball history as the only all-black, small-town Ontario baseball team to become Ontario Baseball Association champions. And, they did it just one year after joining the league.
National Geographic contributing writer and award-winning travel journalist Heather Greenwood Davis takes us to Chatham, Ontario to learn about this incredible team’s run for the championship. Along the way, Greenwood Davis shows us the importance of shining a light on Canada’s shockingly little-known Black history, its widely whitewashed role in North American civil rights history and the fight that continues to get these trailblazing men the recognition they have so long deserved.
Special thanks to James Gray for our theme song music.
