You may have heard of the City of Williamsport, in rural North Central Pennsylvania, as the site of the Little League World Series. That’s our town’s one claim to fame. If you’ve ever seen that annual event on TV, you might think that our community is mired in tradition, arch-conservative, and all-white, and that everyone here listens to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck for news and to country or so-called Christian music for entertainment. After all, we’re located in what’s been called the Alabama of Pennsylvania. In reality, our city is a lot more diverse.
