A Special Day for Fifth Graders

Fifth graders recently enjoyed a visit and Q & A session in the Klein Lyceum with Tuskegee Airmen Cyril Byron and Lemeul Lewie, Negro League baseball players Luke Atkinson and Eddie Banks, Geraldine Day, the widow of Baseball Hall of Famer Leon Day, as well as others associated with the Herbert V. Simmons Museum of Negro League Baseball. Loaded with stories and knowledge (and signed baseballs, bats, and trading cards) from the visitors, the students are now writing research reports on Negro League players.
