The Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference (JMNLC)〔http://www.larrylester42.com/jerry-malloy-negro-leagues-conference/ Jerry Mallow Negro Leagues Conference〕 is an annual conference sponsored by Negro Leagues Committee (NLC), a standing committee of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.〔(SABR or "Society for American Baseball Research )〕 As of 2011, the NLC has held fourteen conferences in various cities known for their history in hosting Negro League baseball teams. The JMNLC is the first and remains the only such event dedicated exclusively to the examination of black baseball history. The objective of the conference and committee is to encourage the study and research of Negro League baseball, pre-Negro League baseball, African-Americans in baseball, and the positive influence on American society by the elimination of racial barriers. This national conference attracts scholars, historians, collectors, social activists, and fans of the game. The Conference focus includes scholarly, literary, and educational components. ==History of the Conference== The Conference has been an annual SABR event since 1998, and was named in memory of Jerry Malloy (1946–2000) after his death. Malloy was a journalist and was considered by his peers in SABR to be a skilled authority on 19th century black baseball. Malloy was an important member of the Negro Leagues Committee and a respected researcher and historian. Admission to the conference is open to all. The 2013 conference is being held in Newark, New Jersey, June 13-15. 〔(Jerry Malloy Negro Leagues Conference Website )〕 Past conferences have been held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (1998, 2000, 2003), Kansas City, Missouri (2001, 2006), Chicago, Illinois (2005, 2008), Atlantic City, New Jersey (1999), Memphis, Tennessee (2002), Cleveland, Ohio (2004, 2012), Portsmouth, Virginia (2007), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (2009), Birmingham, Alabama (2010) and Indianapolis, Indiana (2011).
