This year’s panel will feature AFL star and Hall of Fame tackle Ron Mix and Ernie Warlick who was named to the AFL All-Star Game following each season of his four-year career as an end with the Buffalo Bills. Both men took part in the historic boycott of the AFL All-Star game following the 1964 season that was scheduled for New Orleans. The players refused to play the game because of the unfair treatment of the African-American players in the community. The boycott worked as the game was eventually moved to Houston. Don't miss out on this unique educational seminar as Mix and Warlick share their unique stories about this historic moment in professional football history as well as other life events on and off the football field during the 1960s.
The program is designed for grades 6th-12th and is supplemented by a classroom activity which is aligned with national standards of education.
