Members are doing great things in the community by educating our youth about a hero they may otherwise never have heard of Marshall Major Taylor a black man! He was an 1899 World Champion, an unsung hero no more. We honor him every year with a ride to celebrate his life, but members are taking it a step further this year!
MACC has joined with the “BRAG Dream Team” and the “Major Taylor Association of Worcester, MA.” to celebrate Black History Month with a series of presentations about Major Taylor to local schools. Each presentation is accompanied by a donation of age-appropriate books about Major Taylor. The presentation schedule and list of participating schools are:
