Dr. Kirkland Hall joined Delmarva's Own Podcast in February as the last conversation for episodes directly related to Black History Month. So, we're a bit late getting this one out.
Dr. Hall spent his life and career as an educator, community activist, and minister. Frankly, this description does a disservice to the amount of work Dr. Hall has done in the Delmarva community, particularly in the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland. He also played baseball on a historically black baseball team which originated early in the 1900's. Dr. Hall tells us about his time playing on the team and the way black baseball teams impacted communities on Delmarva.
For more information regarding Dr. Hall, Negro League Baseball on Delmarva, or Hall of Fame players from the Negro League era, check out our blog about the episode. There are links to several players and a picture of the historical monument placed at the baseball field where Dr. Hall played.
Special thanks also goes to Marty Payne of the Eastern Shore Baseball Hall of Fame. Marty was a wealth of information in preparation for this episode.
The music for this episode was provided by Everett Spells. Everett can be found on his website. He is available for your music entertainment needs or for private lessons.
