Today a national icon, Robinson was a complicated man who navigated an even more complicated world that both celebrated and despised him. Many are familiar with Robinson as a baseball hero. Few, however, know of the inner turmoil that came with his historic status. Featuring piercing essays from a range of distinguished sportswriters, cultural critics, and scholars, this book explores Robinson's perspectives and legacies on civil rights, sports, faith, youth, and nonviolence, while providing rare glimpses into the struggles and strength of one of the nation's most athletically gifted and politically significant citizens. Featuring a foreword by celebrated directors and producers Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon, this volume recasts Jackie Robinson's legacy and establishes how he set a precedent for future civil rights activism, from Black Lives Matter to Colin Kaepernick. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Robinson, Jackie,|d1919-1972. 600 10 Robinson, Jackie,|d1919-1972|xInfluence. 650 0 African American baseball players|vBiography. 650 0 Discrimination in sports|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 651 0 United States|xRace relations|xHistory|y20th century. 700 1 Burns, Sarah,|ewriter of foreword. 700 1 Merida, Kevin,|ewriter of afterword. 700 1 Burns, Ken,|ewrite of foreword. 700 1 McMahon, David,|ewriter of foreword. 700 1 Willis, Mirron E.|q(Mirron Edward),|d1965-|enarrator. 700 1 Long, Michael G.,|eeditor. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13697866?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781705275511_180.jpeg
