  • Women’s Circle Breakfast

    9:00 am-12:00 pm
    12/14/2022

    Our speaker this month is Prof. Ben Railton from Fitchburg State University. The title of his presemtraion is “Baseball, Bigotry, and the Battle for America.” In the nineteenth century San Francisco, two sandlots play host to striking and telling events. In 1877, Irish immigrant and labor leader, Denis Kearney, whips crowds into a frenzy of anti-Chinese prejudice with his bombastic speeches. In 1881, the Celestials, a semi-pro baseball team composed of students from the Chinese Educational Mission, win one final game against an Oakland team before they’re forced to leave their adopted homeland. These contrasting yet interconnected stories and the histories to which they connect illustrate the worst and best in the battle for America. Professor Railton earned his Ph.D. in English and American Literature from Temple University and has been at FSU for 17 years.
