The students were incredibly excited to know there were African American pioneers in baseball, just like Martin Luther King Jr.

Education and Outreach
MORE THAN A NEW EXHIBIT
The Black Baseball Initiative is more than a new exhibit in Cooperstown. We are developing new online content as well as outreach programs that are having a positive impact on communities.
The Initiative is made possible by the Yawkey Foundation with additional support from Bill Janetschek in honor of his siblings Robert and Ann, the Anthony A. Yoseloff Foundation and the Bisignano Family.
