Presented in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh and the Grier family, “Game Changers: Bobby Grier” will include an engaging panel discussion featuring Samuel W. Black, Dorin Dickerson, Rob Grier Jr., Brandon Miree and Rob Ruck.
“Game Changers: Bobby Grier” is $10 for nonmembers and $5 for History Center members. Admission is free for students with a valid ID. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the event will take place in the museum’s fifth floor Mueller Center.
