Description
In 1959, the Boston Red Sox made history by integrating with its first black player. For Bernard, this moment was more than just a game - it was a chance for his family to see their beloved team in a new light. As they watch Pumpsie Green take the field at Fenway Park, they can't help but feel hopeful that this historic event marks the start of great change. This picture book tells the true story of baseball player Pumpsie Green's journey to the major leagues. It captures the spirit of the Civil Rights Movement and offers a powerful exploration of what it means to be part of something bigger than oneself. With its uplifting message, this book is an inspiring read for anyone looking to learn more about America's past. A great choice for families and educators alike, "Waiting for Pumpsie" provides a valuable perspective on the state of race relations in the United States today.
