Birmingham’s Negro Southern League Museum Honors Forgotten Legends of The Negro Leagues

If you’re a fan of baseball and history, you don’t want to miss the Birmingham Negro Southern League Museum’s collections of memorabilia and artifacts from the Negro Southern League, the Negro American League, and Negro National League.The Negro Southern League, which spans from 1920 to 1951, brought greats such as Willie Mays and Leroy “Satchel” Paige,  to name a few, to the national forefront of the sport. 

The Negro Southern League Museum includes exceptional artifacts from the era, including one of my personal favorites – the interactive Satchel Paige hologram. Fans shouldn’t come to Birmingham and miss it!
