The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, founded in 1990, provides all patrons with a wonderful learning experience and uses a hands-on approach in delivering the history of the African American culture and cuisine. The museum celebrates a largely ignored era where African-American baseball players were forced to play in their own league rather than in the major leagues. Through exhibits that use interactive media, all visitors can learn about the talented African-American people through a positive perspective. The museum has hundreds of photographs as well as artifacts that display the heritage in an educational and respectful way. The museum offers more than just a baseball history, as it goes beyond and reminds visitors that issues of race and hatred can be transcended in the realm of sports.
