We Are The Ship

The story of Civil Rights in the United States is a topic that has always interested me, and many others in our country. There are so many aspects that go into this topic that you can study and learn for a long time and not know it all. The story of the Negro Baseball League is one of those interesting aspects. In “We are the Ship” readers will learn a great deal of interesting and wonderful information about this group of men. One thing that I really enjoyed when reading this was the huge pictures. I love to see these representations because they help me to understand since I am a visual learner. I think that even if a reader is not necessarily a visual learner they will appreciate these wonderful images. 

This informational text takes the reader through the story of the Negro Baseball League. On many of the pages are large, full page, illustrations of baseball players either in action or posing with their teammates. This text is well organized, with pictures and artifacts to illustrate the points made in the text. It is written in a logical order and is easy to follow.
