The upcoming release of the film 42 gave me inspiration (and an excuse) to write this piece, but it also speaks to more ways we are still learning from Jackie.
In honor of Jackie Robinson Day, we at Purple Row thought it would be fun to post this story from the summer of two years ago. Today is a special day and should be treated as such.
Jackie Robinson was a man.
Seems like a simple and obvious statement, but there was a time when it wasn't. Not to everyone ... not in his day.
