Viewing Party For CSN Celebrates BHM at Busboys & Poets in DC!

For all you DC folks, Busboys & Poets is hosting a live screening (slash) viewing pary (slash) discussion of Comcast SportsNet Celebrates Black History Month this Monday (Feb 7th) at 9pm in the Langston Room. Yes, I'm shameless self promoting the project.  Dave will be lead the discussion and I'm sure anyone interested in the history of sports in DC (and in the US) will thoroughly enjoy.  Here's the blurb from the B&P events website: 

9 pm (Langston Room) - Come to a viewing party of the television premiere of Comcast SportsNet Celebrates Black History Month. The 1/2 hour television program is moderated by Nation Magazine Sports Editor Dave Zirin with a roundtable including Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Kevin Blackistone, and the man who desegregated the Washington football team 50 years ago this year, Hall of Famer Bobby Mitchell. We discuss the ways - past and present - that sports and African American history have been intertwined. After the show, Dave Zirin will be on hand to answer questions about the broadcast. The event is open to the public. Donations to Teaching for Change will be accepted, but not required. The funds raised will be used to distribute copies of Zirin's documentary Not Just a Game to teachers and collect stories about how to use the film in the classroom. Your contribution can help make sure that the next generation knows about people’s history of sports that is missing from textbooks and the mainstream media.
