A POSITIVE NOMINATION

NEGRO LEAGUES BASEBALL MUSEUM RECOMMENDS USPS FOR AWARD



The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum has nominated USPS for a United Nations Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) Positive Peace Award.


The museum’s president, Greg Baker, announced the nomination during the dedication of Negro Leagues Baseball stamps last week at the museum in Kansas City, MO.

“We’re thrilled that the U.S. Postal Service has chosen to recognize and honor the men and women of the Negro Leagues who set aside the challenges of their time and empowered themselves to become the most positive examples of leadership, character, creativity and determination ever imagined in our modern day,” said Baker.

“In turn, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum has nominated the U.S. Postal Service for a United Nations NGO Positive Peace Award to honor it for celebrating the league’s legacy,” he said.
The award recognizes organizations that contribute time and money to make a difference in the world through their support of local, national and international nonprofit organizations. This is the first year of the awards. Finalists will be honored and the winners announced Sept. 17 at a ceremony at the United Nations
