WELCOME TO MINNESOTA BLACK BASEBALL
Welcome, here’s the most recent work (update):
I want to thank Inspire Credit Union for joining me with a project at five schools to increase awareness of African American history. Inspire purchase 150 books that have been give to the schools for their use to have students due a project on some part of the book. Each school received 30 books, the goal is to have them use and reuse the books for their students for projects on African American history. I will also do a presentation/Q & A at each school to help with the projects. It’s important for students in Minnesota to know that there’s been African Americans that have had a significant impact on Minnesota’s history. Given that you can also use the attached link to a resource list that I’ve put together to help teachers, schools, and students to research more about African American history in our North Star state.

The goal of this resource list is to provide a beginning look at African American individuals that have had a significant impact on local history in Minnesota.

“Frank, you made last night special for me and my wife by being the caring and loving person you are. You showed us all how to love one another by how much you love and loved your father with this great addition to the library of the struggle on the baseball field and in society. You truly are one of a kind and I love that you include all of us in this history and not just one race. It is everyone’s legacy and we need to do better and improve the legacy as we continue to grow as people of all colors.”
