Description
|
Kick off the baseball season right with the fantastic conversation on the Kansas City Monarchs! Featuring Phil Dixon, historian and co–founder of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, we will explore the impact of the Negro Leagues on America’s Favorite Pastime. The history of Negro League baseball in America mirrors the racial strife experienced by African Americans in society, and was plagued by discrimination, racism, and inequity while its athletes were celebrated for their resiliency, professionalism, and athleticism. The Kansas City Monarchs barnstormed across Kansas and the region to play more than 400 games against local towns between 1920 and 1957.
Tickets for the program are $5.00 and includes a complimentary beverage from our evening’s featured brewery! Space is limited, please visit the link below or call (913) 248–2360. The event will be held in the Museum’s Town Hall, 11600 Johnson Drive, Shawnee, Kansas 66203.
