This is all I have in regards to negro league memrabilia. They are actually wearing The Cincinnati Reds road unis from the previous year. With some help from Wayne Stivers, I've identified all but one players. I showed this photo to a former Negro League player from Cincinnati last year at The National. He was able to identify the building and the street. Very cool...

If someone smarter than me can post the photo i would appreciate it.
