The Small Grants to Libraries program brings traveling exhibitions and other types of public programming to libraries across the country. “Pride and Passion: The African American Baseball Experience” has been designated as part of the NEH’s We the People program, exploring significant events and themes in our nation’s history and culture and advancing knowledge of the principles that define America. The story of African Americans in baseball is a remarkable and fascinating slice of American history. It parallels the failures of the greater American society in solving the racial problems resulting from slavery, the Civil War, and the confusion of Reconstruction.
