The John Henry "Pop" Lloyd Committee began
its work in the early '90's with the initial
mission of restoring the Atlantic City
baseball field dedicated in 1949 to honor
the playing career and community service of
National Baseball Hall of Fame great, John
Henry “Pop” Lloyd. The Committee continues
to extend this legacy so that the youth of
America may benefit from the values
engendered from “Pop” Lloyd, all those that
played Negro League baseball, and the
culture in which it was played.
Through its ongoing educational outreach and
public commemoration, the Committee
celebrates a unique chapter in sports and
American history that provides an
opportunity to apply to our lives the
lessons for living elegantly, with
exuberance in the face of adversity and
discrimination.
Members of the Committee include:
