CNN —Rescuers are searching for a missing Pennsylvania grandmother who is believed to have fallen deep into a sinkhole while searching for her cat with her young granddaughter, authorities said. During their search, police discovered Pollard’s vehicle parked near a restaurant with her five-year-old granddaughter inside – and a fresh, deep sinkhole just steps away. The girl is now with her parents and wasn’t able to give police any details about what happened, Limani said. An image provided by the Pennsylvania State Police shows the top of a sinkhole in Marguerite, Pennsylvania, where rescuers were searching for a woman who disappeared.

Sam Pollard’s documentary “The League” introduces audiences to the teams, stars and little-known figures who populated the Negro leagues by chronicling how Black professional baseball first sprouted. It covers the period from just before the majors instituted a gentlemen’s agreement banning African Americans from playing with white players, to the Negro leagues becoming one of America’s biggest Black-owned businesses, to its demise. In an audio interview, Pollard spoke about how he set about constructing his film, and the ways he connected the Negro leagues to the Civil Rights movement. Where did you find the archival Negro league interviews? Byron also interviewed, through his dad, former Negro league players on video.
