Notes

 • There's a ton written about Emma Rowena Gatewood but so much of it, including this story, owes a huge debt to Ben Montgomery's book, 
Grandma Gatewood's Walk, • which excavated the story of her life with her husband. Besides that, it is wonderfully written. Totally recommend it.

Notes

 • My favorite work on Mays is James Hirsch's glorious biography, Willie Mays: The Life, the Legend. I also recommend John Klima's Willie's Boys, about the Black Baron's 1948 season.

 • If you're looking to get more context for the city during those years, I'd recommend Diane McWhorter's history, Carry Me Home.
