The Murder of Porter Moss

Bob Kendrick tells the powerful story of the life and death of Porter Moss, who pitched in three East-West All-Star games before he was gunned down on a train in Tennessee at the age of 34, and left to die because of the color of his skin.

 

Special thanks to the work, research, and inspiration of the University of Memphis, the University of Baltimore, Gary Ashwill and the Seamheads Database, Dr. Kurt McBee, Dr. Henry Louis Taylor, Dr. Raymond Doswell, the late John Erardi, the Cincinnati Enquirer, and the unheralded voices of the Pittsburgh Courier and baseball's Black press.
