Black Nouveau | Segment | Honoring the Negro Leagues: A Legacy Remembered
At American Family Field, the Milwaukee Brewers hosted their annual Negro League Tribute Night, celebrating the players whose talents and sacrifices shaped the game of baseball. Among the honorees was Dennis Biddle, a former Negro League pitcher, author, and tireless advocate who has spent 30 years ensuring that his fellow players receive long-overdue recognition.
From pushing for financial support and historical acknowledgment to educating younger generations, Biddle’s work has helped secure pensions for surviving players and cemented Negro League statistics in the official Major League Baseball record books. With music, Black-owned vendors, and tributes throughout the night, the celebration was both a reminder of injustice and a powerful testament to resilience, talent, and community.
