42 - The Jackie Robinson Story: Thursday, February 11, 2016 6:30PM at The Jones Library

This engaging Hollywood film (rated PG-13) from 2013 dramatizes the story of Jackie Robinson and the racism he faced as he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.  We’ll look at how other characters in the story did and didn’t stand up against racism and what we can learn from them, as well as from Jackie Robinson himself.  (Please note the earlier than usual starting time: 6:30PM). Please join us for an evening of entertainment, discussion, and connection with each other. Click here to see a trailer for this movie. This year we want to emphasize building a more connected local community of people who care about dismantling racism.  This evening will be an opportunity to meet others who would like to make a difference, and to lay the groundwork for taking action.    Much more is possible in our community than we have yet accomplished.
