Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Along with paying tribute to the life and legacy of Dr. King, this program will launch this year’s series of multi-generational programs and activities showcasing the challenging, historic, and triumphant legacy of baseball's Negro Leagues and the African American experience in baseball. The programs will continue to highlight how these experiences reflect American society and culture in general, to bring awareness to how the past is always with us - to teach us, and to provide inspiration and encouragement to those facing similar challenges today.
