"Long Time Coming" Screening

Thursday, February 28th, 6:00 p.m.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

In 1955 when racial segregation defined the south, two groups of twelve-year old boys stepped onto a baseball field in an act of cultural defiance that would change the course of history. “Long Time Coming” was created to both honor the barrier-breakers and to stimulate honest and constructive conversation on race in America. The film highlights a moment in history where courage overcame destructive social norms to establish a better way, together.

Free and open to the public.
