The Super Bowl is much more than a football game, and as you might know, it is the only sports event that impacts every community in the United States. But, did you know that the Super Bowl rose out of the civil rights movement, specifically the African American boycott of the AFL All-Star Game in New Orleans? Evan Weiner, a veteran sports broadcaster will take us on a journey from the birth of the Super Bowl to talk about the halftime shows and everything in between, including how the famed football game got its name. Contact the Reference Desk at 712-323-7553, ext. 2, to reserve a seat to watch with us in Meeting Room A or to pre-register to view from home via ZOOM.   Registration is required. ** Face masks and social distancing are required for in-person events and programs.
