HCR 52 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Designates February twentieth each year as "John Donaldson Day" in Missouri

This bill designates February 20th as "John Donaldson Day" in Missouri to honor the life and achievements of John Donaldson, a native Missourian and pioneering baseball player. The resolution recognizes Donaldson's contributions as a top pitcher in the Negro Leagues, his service in World War I, and his role as the first full-time Black talent scout in Major League Baseball. It encourages citizens to participate in events commemorating his legacy but does not alter any laws or policies. The measure requires approval from the Governor before it becomes effective.
