Welcome
Our Mission: The Mission of the African-American Ethnic Hall of Fame is to broaden the public’s understanding of African American/Ethnic history and the role of diversity and cultural tolerance in the growth of professional sports. The Hall of Fame gives the world the opportunity to better understand the impact African American and other ethnic groups throughout the world have had on American sports and society. We honor those who have achieved or been instrumental in helping African Americans and other people of color achieve their goals, no matter what their race.
Our Vision: The vision of the African-American Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame is to enrich, enlighten and educate our young people while honoring our true heroes from the past. Our purpose is to give deserving students the chance for an education they otherwise might not have, and to prepare our young people to do tomorrow what our heroes did yesterday.
“Like the lighthouse that guides ships ashore, we are a guiding light into the past, illuminating athletes who pioneered the way to the future.”
