HBCU Alumni Proud of National Spotlight
Marie Duval did not attend an HBCU; she received her educational experience at a predominately white institution, Mercer University, a private Baptist-supported school in Macon, Georgia, her hometown.

The Duvals traveled 150 miles to witness a rare national spotlight shine on Black college baseball.
