Out of the meeting came the birth of the Negro National League, the first successful, organized professional Black Baseball League that provided a playing field for African American and Black Latino baseball players to showcase their world class abilities. The Negro Leagues would operate for 40 years becoming a catalyst for economic growth in African American communities across the country and helped spark social change in America.
