Baseball great Hank Aaron (1934-2021), who died Fr

Baseball great Hank Aaron (1934-2021), who died Friday, lived in West Palm Beach for many years during retirement. The Braves trained here, starting in 1963, at former Municipal Stadium, where the address became, and remains, Hank Aaron Drive. When he was inducted into the Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame in 2010, Aaron told The Palm Beach Post that here was the first training where his Black and white teammates were not forced to stay in separate hotels.

The first outdoor exhibit, City of Hope: Resurrect

The first outdoor exhibit, City of Hope: Resurrection City and the Poor People’s Campaign, opened today, the day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day, in front of the museum.

This timely poster exhibit honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s final and most ambitious vision that each U.S. citizen have equal access to economic opportunities and the American dream. It examines the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign—a grassroots, multiracial movement that drew thousands of people to Washington, DC for 43 days. Demonstrators demanded social reforms while living on the National Mall in a 16-acre tent city known as Resurrection City.

This free exhibit is only possible with the support of our community. Our display of City of Hope is sponsored by the Loreen Beisswenger Farish Charitable Foundation, Pat Moran Family Foundation, PNC Bank, Sciame Homes, the Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida, and the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority. @pncbank @sciamehomes
