Sharon Robinson, an author, educator, and daughter of Dodgers legend Jackie Robinson sits on the board of the Jackie Robinson Foundation. Ms. Robinson is none too pleased about a new campaign ad released this week by Donald Trump’s campaign.
The ad titled “Say What You Will About America” displays many black and white images from the first half of the 1900s. The photographs are of noted civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King, Jr, Jim Thorpe — who was the first Native American to win a gold medal at the Olympics — suffragettes, and the first man to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball – Jackie Robinson.
