"From Borinquen to Baltimore: Puerto Rican Players of the Baltimore Elite Giants" is a community-centered exhibition hosted at Tola’s Room, a Puerto Rican home museum in Baltimore, and part of the BmoreBoricuas archiving initiative. The exhibition tells the largely overlooked story of Puerto Rican baseball players who played for the Baltimore Elite Giants in the Negro Leagues and explores how their lives, labor, and talent connected Puerto Rico to Black Baltimore during the era of segregation.

Through photographs, archival materials, storytelling, and multimedia elements, the exhibition highlights baseball as a vehicle for migration, resilience, and cultural exchange. These players were not only athletes—they were migrants navigating racial hierarchies, cultural ambassadors building relationships across communities, and contributors to Baltimore’s rich sports and social history long before integration and the arrival of Major League Baseball in the city.

Housed in an intimate, home-based museum, the exhibition invites visitors to experience history in a personal way—connecting neighborhood stories, Puerto Rican identity, and Negro League history. "From Borinquen to Baltimore" celebrates shared struggle, solidarity, and joy, and makes visible a chapter of Baltimore history that deserves to be seen, discussed, and remembered.

In conjunction with the exhibition, a Community Archiving Day will invite Baltimore residents to share photographs, documents, and stories connected to baseball, migration, and community life in Baltimore. The event will preserve personal histories related to the baseball, Baltimore, and the Puerto Rican experience, ensuring community memories become part of Baltimore’s historical record.
