Brooklyn Historical Society continues to celebrate Jackie Robinson’s legacy
Did you seeĀ Jackie RobinsonĀ hit that ball?
It’s been 71 years since Robinson broke the color barrier and became the first African American to play in Major League Baseball with the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947. All these decades later, the significant feat is still being celebrated in the borough that started it all.
The Brooklyn Historical Society (BHS), 128 Pierrepont Street, created the exhibition, “Until Everyone Has It Made: Jackie Robinson’s Legacy” a year ago to honor the country’s hero and the museum’s exhibit remains popular.
