In this episode of The Parley in all Blue, Mark speaks with William ‘Bill’ Haley. William served as Executive Director of the Jackie Robinson West Little League in Chicago from 1995 until 2015. William also serves on the Board of Directors of the Richard C. Haley Memorial Scholarship. William has developed a passion for photography and gives us a look through his lenses.
Mark and Bill discuss the cultural and historical organization, The Jackie Robinson West Little League, and how it is so much more than baseball. They explore the ins and outs of the League and how important an organization like this is to the Black community. The pandemic affected us all but for Bill, he saw this as an opportunity to tap into his creative side. He started taking pictures on long walks and soon fell in love with photography. Bill shares a few photos he took around the city of Chicago. Each photo tells a story full of history and beauty. There’s something new everyday.
