The Cannon Street All-Stars was the first African-American Little League All-Star team in the state to qualify for postseason play. The team's subsequent exclusion from tournaments at city, state and regional levels culminated in the ban from the 1955 Little League World Series, garnering huge national media attention. Presenters include former team members, John Rivers and author of the Sports Illustrated article about the team, Gene Sapakoff. Call 527-9241.
