Small Grants to Libraries: Pride and Passion

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" is a collaboration between the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Library Association (ALA), and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The exhibition is based upon a permanent exhibition of the same name on display at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Cooperstown, N.Y. The traveling exhibition and tour are funded by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to the American Library Association. "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.
