(Seneca, SC)————–A special, free event will be taking place today at the Bertha Lee Strickland Cultural Museum in Seneca. A pictorial exhibit has been on display depicting the 521 All-Stars and a baseball league called the Gamecock Baseball League in Rembert, South Carolina that was comprised only of African Americans.
