Major League Baseball, its Clubs, and media entities (MLB Network and MLB.com) will observe Black History Month 2021 in a variety of ways, across our sport, with the following goals in mind:
• To meaningfully engage and support African American people, institutions, and communities across the nation;
• To celebrate and recognize the rich history of African Americans in baseball; and
• To showcase the voices of African American youth, professional players & coaches, historians, and others connected to the sport.
These efforts are among many ongoing initiatives and partnerships maintained year-round with our communities, our fans, and our MLB players, coaches and professionals.
“I had fooled myself into feeling that by seeing people march on streets on our behalf, and that all people matter,” White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams told USA TODAY Sports, “there was going to be some change. I really thought that. I won’t make that mistake again.”

It was supposed to be different this time around.
Major League Baseball embraced the Black Lives Matter movement this summer, and pledged diversity in their front-office hirings this winter.
In the end, there were eight president of baseball operation and GM jobs filled this winter, and not a single job went to an African-American. Kim Ng was the only minority hired when she became the first woman and first person of East Asian descent to be the GM of a MLB franchise with the Miami Marlins.
