The principal Negro leagues were the Nigro National League (1920-31, 1933-48), the Eastern colored league (1923-28), and the Negro American league (1937-60).
A “ gentleman’s agreement” among the leaders of what was then called organized baseball.
(The major and minor leagues) erected color bar against black players from the last years of the 19th century until 1946, although these leaders rarely admitted its existence
