WAM Nights: “More Like Jackie” Screening and Panel Discussion

WAM Nights: “More Like Jackie” Screening and Panel Discussion
June 20, 2025 | 6:30pm | Howard E. Wooden Auditorium
Free. No reservations required.

◆ On January 25, 2024, a bronze statue of Jackie Robinson was stolen from League 42, a nonprofit youth baseball league in Wichita. The theft made headlines around the world. ◆ "More Like Jackie"—a documentary by the Wichita Eagle and Kansas.com—tells the story of how a community responded to that loss with unity, resilience, and action.

◆ Join us for a special screening followed by a panel discussion with filmmakers Jaime Green and Travis Heying, and Wichita artists Ellamonique Baccus and Armando Minjarez, who contributed public art in the wake of the event.
