http://sites.tsu.edu/gridiron/ - go to this link to see the video and get details! Port City Links assisting with opening dates -- see you there! Port City Links are volunteering for Opening from 10am - 8pm Monday Jan. 30th - exhibit extends through April. I've seen a preview at the volunteer training day last Saturday - this is a not to miss exhibit -- there is history which includes facts like Paul Roberson first African American All American https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Robeson and our first African American NFL Coach Fritz Pollard in yes - 1921 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Pollard who played for Brown University and majored in Chemistry! Interactive exhibits where you can watch video and "make the call" - hear about civil rights and positions that were denied African Americans such as quarterback, in addition there is equipment as it evolved to today! Football fans you will get to see that Superbowl trophy and take all the pictures you'd like! The University Museum is a jewel in our community, led by efamily member Alvia Wardlaw! Tickets are $20.00 well worth it! Parking at the TSU garage near Pilgrim Church is recommended.
