Baseball has long been known as “America's pastime,” but not every culture sees themselves in the sport. That's where Katherine Walden and Clinton Carlson come in. The Notre Dame professors—Walden teaches in the Department of American Studies and Carlson in the Department of Art, Art History, and Design—have focused their research and teaching on uncovering and sharing the histories of teams like the Foundry Giants, a local team of Black players working in the Studebaker factory’s foundry.Their work makes up part of the living museum that is Foundry Field at Southeast Neighborhood Park, a quality public-access baseball field for children and adults in South Bend’s urban core. It's a collaborative community project led by the Sappy Moffitt Field Foundation, the University of Notre Dame’s Center for Social Concerns, the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center, and South Bend Venues Parks and Arts.Learn more about Professors Walden & Carlson's work: https://go.nd.edu/ead6e9 Learn more about Foundry Field: https://foundryfield.org/
