In the presence of Giants |
Decades before Jackie Robinson became the first Black man to play in the major leagues, the Foundry Giants — a team of Black players working in the Studebaker factory’s foundry — were making a name for themselves as one of the strongest independent baseball teams in the Midwest. Nearly a century later, the Giants are inspiring a new generation of ballplayers at South Bend's Foundry Field, a new public-access baseball field in Southeast Park and a collaborative community project.

~ Clinton Carlson, ND associate professor of design
