Negro Leagues Plans to Triple Size of Existing Baseball Museum
September 11, 2024
The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, recently received a $2 million grant from the MLB-MLBPA Youth Development Foundation to support its $30 million expansion efforts.
The museum plans to triple its current square footage by creating a Negro Leagues campus. Museum President Bob Kendrick says the campus will feature new, state-of-the-art facilities and exhibits, classrooms, a rooftop event space and on-site accommodations for visitors in addition to the existing Buck O’Neil Education and Research Center.
This expansion is designed to further NLBM’s mission of preserving and celebrating the rich history of African American baseball and its impact on social advancement in America.
