A discussion of “Long Time Coming”, a documentary about the 1955 Little League state champ
Dee Dee Sharp hosts a discussion of “Long Time Coming”, a documentary about the 1955 Little League state championship game between an all-black Pensacola team and an all-white Orlando team. In an era when racial segregation defined the south, two groups of twelve-year-old boys—the Pensacola Jaycees and the Orlando Kiwanis—stepped on to a baseball field in a non-violent act of cultural defiance.
