Help Keep the Legacy of the Negro Leagues Alive

The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM), is the world’s only museum dedicated solely to preserving this incredible history. Until the NLBM opened its doors in the 1990s, this story lived only in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to see these great athletes play. Now, America’s untold story has a voice that’s being heard world wide.

The NLBM, a privately funded, not-for-profit organization, needs your support. Becoming a member keeps this powerful story alive so that future generations can discover the greatness of the Negro Leagues.
