Just as the Pittsburgh Pirates starting nine Blacks for the first time in a major league baseball game in 1971 only got a couple of lines in the press, the Auggies’ historic feat didn’t get any notice either.
In fact, many observers believe it is the first time this has happened in conference history.
For 90 years, the MSR has been more than a newspaper—it’s been a trusted voice for Black stories, struggles, and triumphs.
Your support today ensures that our legacy of empowerment and truth continues for the next generation. Together, we can keep our stories alive.
