Celebrating Our Legacy
Dedication & Unveiling Ceremony
February 1, 2022 | Carroll Park Golf Course
Celebrating a shared relationship with a local golf course
In honor of the persistent African American golfers who sought to play golf on Baltimore City-owned segregated golf courses in the 1940s, we celebrate their victory to not only get access but also open dialogue with elected officers that led to open accommodations to all city recreation facilities. We are unveiling this monument at Carroll Park Golf Course to celebrate our legacy during Black History Month.

“Playing golf with this dynamic group of women has been rewarding beyond any measure on many levels. Our passion for the game of golf continues while having fun at the same time. Many life-long supportive friendships have been forged on the links as we travel to area courses twice a month. The Club has a proud 83-year legacy.”
