Imma agree with you, however, because I admire his contributions to history, Imma
also note the first black baseball player was
probably in 1879. I do that entirely to bang his drum a bit because he's not nearly recognized enough. That's compared to, say, Jackie Robinson who gets a ton of cred despite being decades later than several other black players I and feel William White deserves more recognition than he gets.
I
still agree with you because he only got in because he
passed for white to get in so the principle remains, but I still feel his contributions should be recognized.
