Let Them Play is a book about a black little league baseball team who were unable to play in the little league world series due to the time they lived in.  This book takes place in segregated, SC in 1955.  It deals with the happenings of the civil rights also.  In this book the boys traveled to play in the world series but were unable to because there were no white teams that would play them.  I feel this book is a memoir of Jackie Robinson because he was teh first black to be in the league.  The illustrations are beautifully drawn in this book and it depicts exaclty how things happen during that time.
