On Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012 the Cleveland Browns will be hosting a panel discussion in recognition of Black History Month. The discussion, “Personal Reflections: The Positive Effects of Football on Racial Equality,” will be moderated by Pro Football Hall of Fame President/Executive Director, Steve Perry. The panel will include Cleveland Browns alumni: Walter Beach, John Wooten, Dick Schafrath, Reggie Rucker and Sam Tidmore. The event will include individual introductions and reflections along with a question and answer portion and is scheduled to run one hour.
