For our multi genre essay we have chosen to discuss the role of African Americans in baseball. With this topic we can cover a variety of things such as, racism within the sport, contract issues, youth involvement, etc. I would say our main goal is to get baseball (MLB) involved with inner city communities by funding little league organizations, maybe give some tickets to the inner city kids to get then to become fans of the game and just provide some role models for those kids. I personally plan creating a collage which has pictures of past and present African American greats from baseball. Also, i plan on making a letter to the president of baseball, Bud Selig, just to explain why I think he should take a chance in getting baseball more popular in the urban cities.
