Black History Month Film Screening: Say Hey, Willie Mays!

Time:   Tuesday, February 11, 18:00

Venue: Shanghai American Center, Room 540, East Tower, No. 1376 West Nanjing Rd

To commemorate Black History Month and the contributions of the many black Americans who have shaped United States history, the Shanghai American Center invites you to watch the inspiring story of Willie Mays, a Hall of Fame baseball player who pushed the boundaries of excellence in Major League Baseball.  Mays transfixed fans from coast to coast with his style, jubilant personality, and fantastic play on the field.  The film, Say Hey, Willie Mays! follows Mays’ life both on and off the field over five decades as he navigated the American sports landscape and the country’s ever-evolving cultural backdrop, all while helping to define what it means to be one of America’s first black sports superstars.  

The film is in English with Chinese subtitles.
