The School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ is hosting a free watch party for undergraduate & graduate students, faculty, staff and their family, friends and community members at The Screening Room for Black History Month. Join us as we screen Dear Jackie, a cinematic letter to Jackie Robinson, the first African American player in Major League Baseball and a civil rights activist who broke the colour barrier when he joined the minor-league Montreal Royals in 1946. For a short time, the impossible seemed possible in a segregated North America. But did Montrealers use this historic moment to perpetuate a myth of a post-racial society?
