Chicago American Giants

Hey is there anyone out there in BCB Land that can help my brother-in-law with his history project. He is having trouble finding good sources on the Chicago American Giants. This project is for the history fair at his school. Last year he made it all the way right before state and was told he needed more source that came from hard copy sources. I guees the state judges don't care for to many internet sources at all.If anyone could help send some good info or sources my way I would love to have it. Or if you have any good ideas on what else he could do to help get this project going fell free to give feedback.

In Kansas City would probably have some good info. I went there a few years ago. It's a real cool place. I'm sure a google search would reveal their website.
Well, sometimes nothin is a real cool hand.

Chicago Defender
I'd look for copies of the Chicago Defender from that era.  Either contact the paper directly and see if they have archives or check with the Chicago Public Library - I would think they have microfilm of old papers.  Here's the Defender's website: http://www.chicagodefender.com/
