Frederick L., Sr. and Jr.

The New York Times obituary says in small part, "The McKissacks wrote biographies of W. E. B. Du Bois, Harriet Tubman and the black cowboy Nat Love. They wrote histories of the Pullman train porters, Negro leagues baseball and the civil rights movement."

The biography of Nat Love is a fictionalized graphic novel with text by Pat McKissack and the couple's son Fredrick L. McKissack Jr., Best Shot in the West: The Adventures of Nat Love (2012), OCLC 138340270. (The NYT-linked starred review at Kirkus also says so, but its layout crucially drops "Jr." to the next line [1].)

Probably the NYT-called history of Negro leagues baseball is the first mother-and-son collaboration, Black Diamond: The Story of the Negro Baseball Leagues (1994), OCLC 28221299.
