The Anderson Monarchs, a youth baseball team from Philadelphia, Pa. that includes little league star Mo’ne Davis, made a stop in Selma on Friday.

Davis made her own history in the 2014 Little League World Series as the first female starting pitcher to win a World Series game, but Friday she and the rest of the Monarchs spent the afternoon taking in history.

The team, which is in the midst of a 23 city, 21 day civil rights tour, walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge and went to the National Voting Rights Museum before eating lunch and signing autographs at the Walton Theater.

“I was really excited to come here because it was one of the key points of civil rights,” she said. “When we got here and when we crossed the bridge it looked the same, just like from the movie [“Selma”], so I was kind of surprised that everything still looked the same, but I really enjoyed it.”

Davis celebrated her fourteenth birthday Wednesday when the Monarchs stopped in Birmingham for a visit to the 16th Street Baptist Church, where a church bombing killed four girls in 1963. They also played a Negro League tribute game at historic Rickwood Field, the oldest surviving professional baseball park in the United States.

“This is one of those birthdays that you don’t forget and to spend it at the 16th Baptist Church just learning about everything there was an amazing time,” Davis said.

Monarchs head coach Steve Bandura said the team has gotten together every Friday studying documentaries, books and having discussions about the civil rights movement so they’d be prepared for the tour.

One of their first stops was a meeting with Congressman John Lewis, who led the march over the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday.

“With everything going on in the country, I felt like they are old enough now to get this,” Bandura said.

“This was the right time now to do this and with the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday and Ferguson and Baltimore and all this going on in the country, I wanted to teach them about the civil rights movement.”

Bandura said the Monarchs play in a lot of tournaments where they are the only team where a majority of its players are black.

“We’ve always taught the kids about Jackie Robinson and the Negro Leagues because we are the only African American team no matter where we go in the national tournaments and even the local tournaments and our local leagues, so I felt like they needed that foundation and need to connect with the history.”

The Monarchs are traveling in style too, riding around in a 1947 bus — the same year Robinson broke the major league color barrier — with no air conditioning and no bathroom. Bandura said he’s approaching 15,000 miles on the bus, but he said it never gets old.

“The kids are playing cards, having discussions — like actually talking to each other and not texting —in real time,” Bandura said.

The players love it too. They said when the windows are down and their cruising down the interstate, it’s not too hot.

“It’s pretty cool because the people that ride by us, it’s probably the only time they’ll ever see a bus that old,” said Scott Bandura, Steve’s son who plays on the Monarchs. “They ride by and they honk at us, wave and take pictures.”

Seven players on the Monarchs played on last year’s Taney Dragons, the team Davis helped lead deep into the Little League World Series. She became a star after pitching a shutout in the Dragons’ first game and appeared on the front of Sports Illustrated.

During the tour, the team is still playing baseball. Although they didn’t play a game in Selma, they’re 5-0 during games they’ve played on the tour, which will last until July 10.

The Monarchs next stop in Jackson, Miss., where they will visit Medgar Evers Home Museum.
