Beyond the Scoreboard: The Baltimore Black Sox and the Negro Leagues’ Civil Rights Legacy

  • The Reginald F. Lewis Museum 830 East Pratt Street Baltimore, MD, 21202 United States (map)

Join the Reginald F. Lewis Museum and community partners for a panel discussion celebrating the legacy of the Baltimore Black Sox, one of Baltimore’s historic Negro League baseball teams, and their impact on the Civil Rights Movement. Explore how these athletes navigated a segregated society, where “separate but not equal” defined life both on and off the field, and learn about their lasting influence on their communities and the fight for equality. After the discussion, visitors can participate in preservation workshops on family genealogy and celebrate community traditions, including baseball and family celebrations.
