Iowa Civil Rights History

The Sioux City Ghosts were an all-black fast-pitch softball team in Sioux City, Iowa. Their exceptional skills and unique style of playing created a legacy that very few can match. It all started in 1925 as a boy’s club. After class, they would gather near the former Hopkins school along West 7th and Panoah Street in Sioux City.
Jim Tillman, Sioux City native and resident, has been studying the Ghosts story for a while and was able to share the story on his first EVER podcast appearance.
