  Dominican Get-Together in Allentown, PA
Allentown, PA, February 28, 2013
Dominican Get-Together in Allentown, PAGFDD will bring its popular Dominican Get-Togethers initiative to Allen High School in Allentown, Pennsylvania on Thursday, February 28, 2013. The event will feature a presentation of the film The Republic of Baseball, and a panel discussion to follow.

The Republic of Baseball is the story of the epic 1962 World Series as told by brave and talented Dominican stars of baseball, Felipe Alou, Juan Marichal, Manny Mota and Ozzie Virgil. The film masterfully depicts the challenges of dictatorship, poverty, and later racism, overcome by Dominican baseball legends.
