Honored to have spent some time experiencing the Jackie Robinson Museum, which had its ribbon cutting today. Being inches away from the batting and cleat marks on his 1947 bat (slide 2) was pretty incredible. While the museum highlights Jackie Robinson’s achievements in sports it puts just as much emphasis on his social activism. Many thanks to David Robinson (slide 1), the son of Jackie Robinson, and Della Britton (slide 3), the president and chief executive of the Jackie Robinson Foundation. “It was such an important period of history that the museum encapsulates,” David Robinson said. “If we don’t have a remembrance of that struggle, we lose touch with a significant period of American history that can help guide us today and it is a tribute to all the people who have taken my mother’s desire and made it happen.” Shouts to @esw_viz for the call ✨🙌🏿✨
