Bill Summary
Designates February 20th each year as "John Donaldson Day" in Missouri
AI Summary
This bill designates February 20th as "John Donaldson Day" in Missouri, officially recognizing John Donaldson, a notable pitcher in the Negro Leagues and a member of the inaugural Kansas City Monarchs team. By adding a new section to Chapter 9 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, the legislation encourages citizens of the state to participate in events and activities that commemorate Donaldson's life and accomplishments. The Negro Leagues were professional baseball leagues segregated from Major League Baseball that primarily featured African American players from the late 19th century until integration in 1947, and the Kansas City Monarchs were one of the most successful and well-known teams in these leagues. This bill serves to honor Donaldson's contributions to baseball and recognize the historical significance of African American players during the era of segregated sports.
