Legacy Day 2021

Highlights from Legacy Day 2021

LEGACY DAY HONOREES

The theme of Legacy Day 2021 was “Outstanding African American Athletes of Kent County.  Forty-four athletes and four coaches were honored.  Since we know that there are many other athletes who we were unable to contact, we requested that the names of additional nominees be sent to Sumner Hall after the event.  Click here to view the bios of other athletes.

A 48-page commemorative book accompanies the exhibition.
