DESCRIPTION:40 years ago the world changed, for the better.  Communist China cracked 
 open the diplomatic door and the first Americans in two decades were 
 allowed in.  Sports created the opportunity – specifically ping pong 
 (table tennis).  The courage of two athletes - one from each country - in 
 particular started the process that led to President Nixon’s historic 
 visit a year later.\n\nNow the San Francisco Bay Area has the opportunity 
 to welcome a delegation of Table Tennis Champions and sports officials, 
 including Zhang Yining (Beijing Olympic Champion) and Liu Guozheng and 
 members of the veterans team who played in the original matches in 1971 and 
 1972.\n\nNow join us to honor this amazing event in history and diplomacy 
 through sport on July 7th at Stanford University's Maples Pavilion.
