        <description><![CDATA[During the 1920s, there was still a great deal of overt racism in US society.  There was still no thought of integration of the races.  The Army had been segregated in WWI.  The KKK was strong even in such relatively northern states as Indiana.  Major League Baseball had no black players and would have none until after WWII.

        <description><![CDATA[Oh, my!  What *don't* they talk about, which is really the point.
