phillies vs. braves in 2011 civil rights game

The 2011 and 2012 Civil Rights Games will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, which was a center of the Civil Rights movement. This year's game, the fifth since 2007, will feature the Phillies vs. the Braves at Turner Field. This is a welcome bit of exciting news. Both teams will wear throwback unis of the old Negro Leagues. A showing of a documentary about Hank Aaron will be part of the five-day events associated with the game.
