The Detroit Stars were a charter member of the Negro National League in 1920
On December 16, Major League Baseball announced that it will now officially recognize seven profession Negro Leagues that operated between 1920-1948 as major leagues. Historians have long considered baseball played in these leagues as comparable in quality to the White major leagues. It is about time that they these leagues will get their due recognition.
It is of course tragic that the Black leagues were not integrated with the White leagues and shameful it has taken so long for them classified as major leagues.
