"Over the weekend, baseball players across the country united to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Negro Leagues. The Negro Leagues, founded in KC, boasted players who transcended the game & helped break down the barriers of segregation."

"You can learn about these larger-than-life players at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in #KCMO. @NLBMPrez has done so much to preserve the leagues' rich history & ensure their stories will be told for generations to come."

"To commemorate the centennial of the Negro Leagues, I introduced a bill directing the @USTreasury to mint a coin commemorating the centennial. Proceeds from the coin will go to support the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. My bill unanimously passed the Senate."

"More than 200 House members have signed on to co-sponsor this bill. It's time for the House to pass this overwhelmingly bipartisan legislation honoring the legacy of the Negro Leagues and the indelible mark it left on our country."
