AARP is pleased to present a free, in-depth virtual tour of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum located in Kansas City, followed by a live Q&A with Museum President Bob Kendrick and event moderator Harold Kuntz of FOX 4 Kansas City. See one-of-a-kind exhibits and learn about the rich history of African-American baseball and its profound impact on the social advancement of America. You’ll also hear inside stories and historical insight from President Kendrick, and be able to ask him follow up questions after the tour.

The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history of African American baseball and its social impact on our nation. Exhibits discuss the progression of African American baseball, beginning with the National Negro League in the 1920s to the American Negro League, which dissolved in the early 1960s when Major League Baseball fully integrated. The museum also honors the Kansas City Monarchs, where Jackie Robinson played for one season.
