Thunder Twins is an all-star collaboration celebrating the legacy of Negro Leagues baseball and supporting inner city educational enrichment and athletics programs. The Thunder Twins, Josh Gibson and Buck Leonard, were teammates on the Homestead Greys, and are two of the most prolific players in Negro Leage history. In this conversation, we will be joined by panelists who represent a Negro Leagues baseball family, and some who also represent their namesake non-profit organizations. They will discuss the campaign’s history, the importance of celebrating the Negro Leagues, strategies to make this collaboration a success, and how you can also step up to the plate.

Panelists:

Rose Hunter (Stepdaughter of Buck Leonard; CEO, Buck Leonard Association)

Brian Patterson (Grandson of Buck Leonard; COO, Buck Leonard Association)

Joyce Stearnes Thompson (Daughter of Hall of Fame player Turkey Stearnes)

Celeste Beatty (Founder/Owner Harlem Beer)

Jonathan Hunter (Grandson of Buck Leonard and family historian)

Moderator: Julie Rhodes (Not Your Hobby Marketing Solution)
