Episode description
Dave Baker was K-State's first black head Baseball coach and had a long career in athletics. After his retirement, Baker came back to his hometown of Manhattan, Kansas. He's been deeply involved in the Manhattan Parks and Recreation Department's development of the Frederick Douglass Recreation Complex and the city's annual Juneteenth celebration. In recognition of Black History Month, Baker recalls the lives of a number of African-Americans from Manhattan, and the impact they made locally on race relations.
