Some historians make the mistake of placing a historical figure in a box and not presenting a fuller picture of the individual. How would you feel if your life's account only recorded your time up to your sophomore year in high school? In addition to breaking Baseball's Color line, Jackie Robinson wrote a nationally syndicated column, founded a bank, appeared frequently on FACE THE NATION, served as a sports team's general manager and league commissioner, as an informal Civil Rights activist he was an influencer with Presidents, Governors and Senators. Time to hear more about #42 beyond his Brooklyn Dodger exploits.  Registration requested.
