To require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint a coin in commemoration 
   of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Negro Leagues 
                                baseball.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Negro Leagues Baseball Centennial 
Commemorative Coin Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
    The Congress finds the following:
        (1) The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 
    establishment of the Negro National League, a professional baseball 
    league formed in response to African-American players being banned 
    from the major leagues.
        (2) On February 13, 1920, Andrew ``Rube'' Foster convened a 
    meeting of 8 independent African-American baseball team owners at 
    the Paseo YMCA in Kansas City, Missouri, to form a ``league of 
    their own,'' establishing the Negro National League, the first 
    successful, organized professional African-American baseball league 
    in the United States.
        (3) Soon, additional leagues formed in eastern and southern 
    States.
        (4) The Negro Leagues would operate for 40 years until 1960.
        (5) The story of the Negro Leagues is a story of strong-willed 
    athletes who forged a glorious history in the midst of an 
    inglorious era of segregation in the United States.
        (6) The passion of the Negro Leagues players for the ``National 
    Pastime'' would not only change the game, but also the United 
    States.
        (7) The creation of the Negro Leagues provided a playing field 
    for more than 2,600 African-American and Hispanic baseball players 
    to showcase their world-class baseball abilities.
        (8) The Negro Leagues introduced an exciting brand of baseball 
    that was in stark contrast to Major League Baseball.
        (9) A fast, aggressive style of play attracted black and white 
    fans who sat together to watch those games at a time when it was 
    virtually unheard of to interact socially in such a way.
        (10) Negro Leagues baseball would become a catalyst for 
    economic development across the United States in major urban 
    centers such as Kansas City, St. Louis, New York, Memphis, 
    Baltimore, Washington, DC, Chicago, and Atlanta.
        (11) The Negro Leagues pioneered ``Night Baseball'' in 1930, 5 
    years before Major League Baseball, and would introduce game-
    changing innovations such as shin guards and the batting helmet.
        (12) The Negro Leagues helped make the National Pastime a 
    global game as players from the Negro Leagues--
            (A) were the first people from the United States to play in 
        many Spanish-speaking countries; and
            (B) introduced professional baseball to the Japanese in 
        1927.
        (13) Jackie Robinson, a military veteran and former member of 
    the Negro Leagues' Kansas City Monarchs, would break Major League 
    Baseball's color barrier on April 15, 1947, with the Brooklyn 
    Dodgers, paving the way for other African-American and Hispanic 
    baseball players.
        (14) The Negro Leagues were born out of segregation yet would 
    become a driving force for social change in the United States.
        (15) The Negro Leagues produced future Major League Baseball 
    stars, including Leroy ``Satchel'' Paige, Larry Doby, Willie Mays, 
    Henry Aaron, Ernie Banks, and Roy Campanella.
        (16) The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum was established in 
    Kansas City, Missouri, in 1990--
            (A) to save from extinction a precious piece of Americana 
        and baseball history; and
            (B) to use the many life lessons of the powerful story of 
        triumph over adversity of Negro Leagues players to promote 
        tolerance, diversity, and inclusion.
        (17) In 2006, Congress granted National Designation to the 
    Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, recognizing it as ``America's Home'' 
    for Negro Leagues baseball history.
