Author Series: Stolen Dreams: The 1955 Cannon Street All-Stars and Little League Baseball's Civil War and The Team Nobody Would Play

White teams refused to take the field with the Cannon Street All-Stars, the first Black Little League team in South Carolina. The Cannon Street YMCA All-Stars from Charleston won the tournament by forfeit and advanced to the state tournament. When all the white teams withdrew in protest, the Cannon Street team won the state tournament by forfeit. If the team had won the regional tournament in Rome, Georgia, it would have advanced to the Little League World Series. Learn the history behind this team in this two-book event.

The program begins at 1 pm in the Bullpen Theater and virtually. There will be a book signing in the Library Atrium following the program.

Virtual participants may join us live on the Hall of Fame's Facebook page.
