Event Details

The Tuesday Matinee Film Series returns to show the film "42" in honor of Black History Month.

In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford), legendary manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, defies major league baseball's notorious color barrier by signing Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team. The heroic act puts both Rickey and Robinson in the firing line of the public, the press and other players. Facing open racism from all sides, Robinson demonstrates true courage and admirable restraint by not reacting in kind and lets his undeniable talent silence the critics for him.

The film stars Chadwick Boseman, Harrison Ford and Nicole Beharie.  Directed by Brian Helgeland.  Debuted in 2013, rated PG-13, runtime is 2 hours and 8 minutes.

Tickets and registration are not needed to attend.
