On Monday, a Rome Monuments crew installed two grave markers in Pittsburgh’s Highwood Cemetery.
The two makers were dedicated to Clarence “Win” Harris and Frank Miller, two Negro League baseball stars, who, up until this point, were lying at rest in unmarked graves.
It is not exactly known why Harris and Miller, with some 20 other Negro League players, were laid to rest without headstones, but Sean Gibson, the great-grandson of Negro Leagues legend Josh Gibson and the Executive Director of the Josh Gibson Foundation, says this initiative is about keeping these players’ memories alive.
