Nearby Lone Star College is hosting Pride and Passion: The African-American Baseball Experience from now through August 27, 2010.  Lone Star College is one of only 25 locations selected for this traveling exhibit - a proud National achievement for a great local university.  The exhibit contains artifacts from the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Cooperstown, New York, and explains and documents the challenges and achievements of African-Americans in baseball from post-Civil-War to building and playing in the segregated baseball leagues.

There’s a local aspect to this exhibit, as well, examining the Texas teams of Galveston, Dallas, and more.  There are also several day and evening talks and discussions about the history, and a full schedule of the events is available, or you can call 281-290-5276 for more information.  The exhibit will be at the Lone Star College Library, located on the LSC-CyFair campus at 9191 Baker Cypress.
