Chatham-Kent Public Library is hosting a Virtual Author Talk with Brock Greenhalgh
February 10, 2022 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Chatham-Kent Public Library is hosting a Virtual Author Talk with Brock Greenhalgh, author of “Hard Road to Victory: The Chatham All-Stars Story,” in recognition of Black History Month.
In the fall of 1934, more than a decade before Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s colour barrier, a team of Black athletes blazed a trail for others to follow and earned the opportunity to compete for a major baseball championship. Brock will discuss how the Chatham All-Stars overcame societal hurdles that still persist today.
Join Brock for his Virtual Author Talk on Thursday, February 10 at 9:30 am. Brock’s presentation is approximately one hour and best suited for children 8 years and older. Adults are also welcome.
