Clif Stratton to speak on race, inequality, and the Atlanta Braves

Clif Stratton (History) will explore the history of racism through the lens of baseball’s 2021 World Series Champion Atlanta Braves on Thursday, Dec. 9, at 3 p.m., via Zoom. Among the topics Stratton will cover is how the arrival of the team in the Deep South in 1966 made Atlanta Stadium an immediate flashpoint for the social upheavals of the Civil Rights Era, including contention around urban renewal.

This talk is hosted by the WSU Pullman Common Reading Program as part of its year-long series of events related to use of Tales of Two Americas: Stories of Inequality in a Divided Nation.
