The American Basketball Association (ABA) today announced that it has launched a Global Black History Museum. “This is something that is long overdue,” stated ABA CEO Joe Newman. “Museums traditionally honor those people who have achieved fame and fortune in sports, entertainment, politics and other high profile vocations. But we believe that people from all walks of life deserve a place in history. You don’t have to be Martin Luther King, Thurgood Marshall, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Barack Obama, Louis Armstrong, Jackie Robinson to be recognized. Teachers, doctors, military and first responders, business people, attorneys and others deserve a place in history and the digital ABA Global Black History Museum will honor them.”

The ABA GBHM will be co-managed by Jatai Gonder, owner of the ABA’s Tucson Buckets and Sir Clyde Rivers, Founder & President of I Change Nations, the world’s largest culture of honor organization, a golden rule civility organization that promotes global statesmanship. “To be recognized in the ABA GBHM is simple,” added Rivers, “treat people with dignity and respect and civility.”

Gonder concluded, “I am honored to have been chosen by the ABA to help co-manage the ABA GBHM. Part of the proceeds from the museum will be used for scholarships and to support business opportunities for minorities. All inductees will receive a handsome Certificate acknowledging their recognition.”
