Discover Greatness: More About the Exhibit
From a look at the exhibition in the Museum galleries to news clips and videos of supporting events and programming, explore the impact of Discover Greatness on Museum visitors of all ages.
In the Museum
Since its opening at the Museum in September, Discover Greatness has amplified the stories of Negro League teams and their players too often marginalized or overlooked by historical summaries of the game.
Public Programs
Discover Greatness has provided a vehicle for important discussions of race and racism in our national pastime and in our nation at large.
Educational Programs
Middle and High School classes from throughout the region have taken part in our immersive Discover Greatness education program. Virtual field trips offer the opportunity for students to participate safely regardless of their location, while still engaging in a live experience with exhibition content, the Museum’s education team and one another.
For more information about our virtual school trips, visit our Education Programs page or contact Education Director Jenny Pollack.
In the News
Discover Greatness and the exhibition’s attendant programs have attracted wide attention from local, state and national media.
