The Paley Center for Media Announces Fall Season at THE PALEY MUSEUM in Midtown Manhattan

Sports take center stage this fall season at The Paley Museum beginning Wednesday, September 6 with A Conversation with New York Giants Legend Eli Manning, moderated by ESPN Chairman James Pitaro.

The sports momentum continues into Hispanic Heritage Month with A Paley Tribute to Roberto Clemente: The Legend of #21. The Paley Center for Media worked with Major League Baseball, the Roberto Clemente Foundation and expert collector Paul Kutch, to bring together personal and cultural artifacts that help tell the story of the charismatic Roberto Clemente, one of the best right fielders who ever lived. Fifty years ago, Clemente was the first Latin American baseball player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Paley exhibit opens on September 15, the same day that the MLB celebrates Clemente's life and legacy with Roberto Clemente Day.

The first, Fighting Antisemitism Through Tech, will take place on Tuesday, September 19 and features distinguished experts representing the fields of tech, media, education, and the historical preservation of the Holocaust discussing the innovative ways AI, Gaming, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality are becoming significant tools in the fight against antisemitism. The second PaleyImpact event in this important series will be announced later in the month. The PaleyImpact series exploring Media's Role in Combating Antisemitism is made possible by the generous support of Ronald S. Lauder.

The Paley Media Council's industry-facing events offer the highest caliber thought leadership, discussions, and access to leading media industry executives and global leaders beginning Thursday, September 21 with the season's first PaleyDialogue, A Conversation with William J. Burns, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency; and continues November 7 and 8 with what's been referred to as the "Davos of Media," the 29^th Annual Paley International Council Summit.
