Hey all,

I've been hoping to start a project researching a couple of things from the Negro Leagues (Cannonball Redding's life and career, and the barnstorming tours that Jackie Robinson did).

I was hoping to get some advice on the best way to go about research. I assume that the first place would be old newspapers that were for the black community.

I know newspapers.com has a database of scanned newspapers that is searchable, but was wondering if there are other, better places to look?

I was also wondering what other approaches would be helpful in working on this project?

Thanks!
