About this Event

This program is recommended for individuals 55+; however, all are welcome.


Join us for Enoch Pratt Free Library’s FREE luncheon series, which offers patrons an afternoon of engaging conversations, performances, and activities. Pratt is excited to work in partnership with several community organizations to bring in a variety of dynamic presenters and performers, with rich academic and artistic backgrounds to lead these programs.


What’s on the menu:

In April, Pratt is excited to welcome Dr. Milbert Brown, Jr. of the Hubert V Simmons Museum of Negro Leagues Baseball, for an in-depth presentation of the history and richness of African-American baseball players. Dr. Brown’s lecture will highlight the legacy of Baltimore and Maryland players, as well as feature many artifacts from the Hubert V Simmons Museum's collection. Join us as we appreciate and recognize the contributions of these players as they pursued their rightful place in the realm of sports despite social barriers.

After the workshop, participants will be invited to take part in a facilitated activity or participate in our regular book discussion group led by Pratt Librarians from the Fiction Dept.

Lunch will be provided.

Please contact Madelyn McCaully at [email protected] or 410-396-5494, if you have questions about registration or to request accommodations.
