Queen City ScreenTalkNJ: THE LEAGUE

Film Screening and Filmmaker Chat, Moderated with Lamar David Mackson

Saturday, August 10, 2024

12-2PM in the Anne Louise Davis Room

Join us for a film screening of THE LEAGUE, a film by Sam Pollard; executive producer, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson. Q&A with Sam Pollard, Academy Award Nominee, to follow screening.

THE LEAGUE celebrates the dynamic journey of Negro League baseball's triumphs and challenges through the first half of the twentieth century. The story is told through previously unearthed archival footage and never-before-seen interviews with legendary players like Satchel Paige and Buck O’Neil – whose early careers paved the way for the Jackie Robinson era – as well as celebrated Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Hank Aaron who started out in the Negro Leagues.
