Panel Discussion Explores Jackie Robinson's Legacy
| |
 Baseball legend Jackie Robinson is in the spotlight again, his uniform number, 42, displayed on the walls of spring training ballparks and on movie screens as the title of an upcoming film.
But Robinson was more than a six-time All-Star, MVP and Hall of Famer, and more than the player who broke baseball's color barrier. "Rediscovering Jackie Robinson: A Hero Across Generations," a March 7 presentation sponsored by New College of Florida and the Family Heritage House Museum, brings in national experts on Robinson to examine his life in a broader perspective.
