Northeastern University last week hosted an unveiling of the Negro Leagues Baseball Stamps at its John D. O’Bryant Center for African American Studies. The event paid tribute to early African–American baseball players and their contributions to the nation’s culture and history.
Featured speakers included Dr. Raymond Doswell, representing the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum; Andrea Martinez of the Boston Foundation; Susan Goodenow, senior VP, Public Affairs and Marketing, Boston Red Sox; and James Holland, Postmaster of Boston and Northeastern University graduate.
The Boston Red Sox also was represented by former players Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd and Sam Horn.
