“I’m a fan of baseball and I am honored to be a part of MLB’s family and the tradition of being a pioneering organization for civil rights and social justice and equity,” Ludacris stated. “I have studied the strides made in baseball and in sports and the impact thaey have ad on social issues affecting race and race relations in America. The Civil Rights Game Week is a celebration of those achievements and a reminder of our ongoing responsibility to continue leveling the playing field for all.”
Civil Rights Game Week includes a series of events from May 12-15 designed to pay tribute to all of those who fought on and off the field for equal rights for all Americans. For tickets, visit MLB.com/civilrightsgame.
