N.p. N.p., Circa 1962. Two vintage black and white photographs of African American Little League baseball teams.. One photograph with a manuscript ink annotation to the verso, noting the date August 10, 1962, along with the stamp of photographer Irving H. Phillips Jr. The other photograph with manuscript ink annotations to the verso noting the words "Dulaney" and "Baltimore."

Both photographs show teams posing together, one taken outdoors and the other on a city sidewalk. The photograph dated 1962 capture a team of young boys, with jerseys noting the team name "Athletics." The other photograph captures a team composed of adults, possibly a community team, with jerseys noting the team name "Satellites," and matching hats with an initial B, likely for Baltimore.

Photographs 10 x 8 inches, one with a diagonal trim removing the top right corner of the image. Generally Very Good plus, with light edgewear and creasing.
