Brotherhood Breakfast Speaker – February 2, 2025
Jeremy Dimick – The Detroit Lions and the Early NFL
Free and open to the community.
On the Sunday between the NFL Conference Championship games and the Super Bowl, our beloved Lions become the subject of our Brotherhood Breakfast speaker. Before the Portsmouth Spartans relocated to Detroit in 1934, several pro football teams tried and failed to gain a foothold in the city. What made the Lions different?
Jeremy Dimick, Manager of Collections at the Detroit Historical Society, examines the instability of the infant NFL and how the Lions won the hearts of Detroiters to become the institution they are today. Jeremy will also track the team from its small town roots, through its golden age in the 1950’s and into this year’s incredible season.
Come early and join us for complimentary Breakfast at 9:00 AM.
