Join National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum Manager of Digital and Outreach Learning, Bruce Markusen and the Honorable Rodney E. Slater, former Secretary of Transportation for a conversation on the life and legacy of Jackie Robinson.

In this program, we’ll celebrate Jackie Robinson by taking a closer look at the Hall of Fame infielder and civil rights pioneer. We’ll examine the reasons why Branch Rickey chose Robinson to break the color barrier, the bigotry that Robinson faced, and the successes he achieved both on the field and in his post-playing career as a civil rights advocate.
