CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, April 11, 1947.
* Jackie Robinson signs with Brooklyn Dodgers
* 1st major league team to welcome African Americans
* Historic black Americana
The front page of section 2 (sports) has a two column heading: "Robinson Becomes a Dodger as He Helps Royals Win, 4-3" with small photo of Robinson. (see) First report coverage on Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in major league baseball by signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete with all 42 pages, light toning at the margins, small library stamp within the masthead, small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
