The Cannon Street All-Stars

Hughes Main Library, Meeting Rooms A-C.

John Rivers (member of the Cannon Street All-Star team in 1955) and sports columnist Gene Sapakoff will discuss the Cannon Street All-Stars from Charleston, South Carolina. The Cannon Street All-Stars was the first African-American Little League All-Star team in the state that qualified for postseason play. However, the team was denied tournament access at city, state and regional levels when white teams refused to play them. Eventually, the team was invited to the 1955 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., but was not allowed to play because of its advancement by forfeit. Virtually all of the players went on to successful careers in various professions. The Cannon Street team was the subject of Gene Sapakoff’s 1995 article in Sports Illustrated. After the Sports Illustrated article was published, the story of the Cannon Street All-Stars was picked up by HBO, ABC News and ESPN Classic, among others. Most recently, the story of the Cannon Street All-Stars was featured on Nightline with Ted Koppel. Call 527-9241.
