Rutledge Pearson

Rutledge Pearson was a first baseman for the 1952 Chicago American Giants according to The Negro Baseball Register by Dick Clark and Larry Lester. I've seen elsewhere that he played for the 1952 New York Black Yankees. As indicated by this cover from Jet Magazine, he was also a noted civil rights activist.
