Envisioned and brought to life by David Ali, Founder of BE Relevant, Inc., the dedication of Globetrotters Way celebrates the Harlem Globetrotters’ enduring legacy of athletic excellence, community engagement, and cultural pride. Located at the intersection of Pershing Road and Giles Avenue, near the team’s birthplace, this honorary street designation honors the Globetrotters’ deep Chicago roots and their global impact as ambassadors of joy, sportsmanship, and inclusion.

​

Through this meaningful recognition, we highlight how the Globetrotters’ legacy continues to inspire young people to dream big, build bridges across communities, and uplift others through talent, teamwork, and positivity. The values that lie at the heart of Chicago’s own spirit.
